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.

Muenster cheese is a mild semi-soft cheese from the United States, made from cow's milk. The interior is pale yellow to cream, and the outside is often orange from annatto. It slices cleanly and melts well, which made it a deli cheese rather than a long-aged wheel. The American cheese is calm in smell and taste. It should not be confused with French Munster, a washed-rind cheese with a much stronger aroma.
