Chanco cheese is a mild cow's milk cheese from Chile. The paste is pale yellow, buttery, and semi-soft, with small irregular eyes scattered through the body. A thin dry rind covers the outside, and the flavor stays gentle rather than sharp. People in Chile use it as an everyday slicing cheese and as a cheese that melts in hot food. It is one of the common cheeses in Chilean shops, beside other mild cow's milk styles.

Havarti is a creamy semi-soft cheese from Denmark, first associated with Øverød on Zealand. It is made from cow's milk and has a supple, buttery paste with many small irregular openings. The usual flavor is mild, slightly acidic, and a little sweet. Cream-style Havarti is richer and softer than the plainer loaf. Both are sold as slicing cheeses that also melt well on warm bread.
