Sage Derby is a semi-hard cow's milk cheese from the United Kingdom. It is a herb version of Derby, a mild pressed cheese with a smooth body. Sage leaves, or a sage extract with a green color from spinach or a similar plant, go into the curd. The paste shows pale green marbling against a light yellow ground. The flavor stays mild, with butter and a quiet herb note rather than a sharp bite.
