Cheshire is a moist, crumbly cow's milk cheese from the United Kingdom. The name comes from the English county of Cheshire, and makers in nearby counties have long made the same style. The paste is dense rather than rubbery, and it breaks into moist crumbs instead of clean slices. Flavor is mild, salty, and a little tangy, with a fresh dairy note when the cheese is young. Clothbound wheels and block versions both carry the name.

Dunlop cheese is a traditional Scottish cow's milk cheese from the United Kingdom. It is a pressed cheese with a close, moist texture and a mild, buttery taste. Young wheels are supple and gently nutty, and with more age the paste firms and picks up a light sharpness. It stays less aggressive than many long-aged British cheeses. A natural rind is typical on a cloth-finished wheel, and the cheese suits both the table and the kitchen.
