Marble cheese is a name from the United Kingdom for cow's milk cheese that shows streaks or patches of more than one color. The usual path is to mix two curds, often white cheddar curd and orange cheddar curd tinted with annatto. The cut face looks marbled, and the cheese underneath is usually a hard pressed style. It is a way of making, not one dairy's private recipe. A block can taste mild or sharp depending on the cheddar that went into it.
