Cornish Blue is a semi-soft blue cheese from Cornwall in the United Kingdom. It is made from pasteurized cow's milk and is meant to be eaten while the paste is still young and moist. The interior is dense and pale, with blue-green veins through a buttery body, and a natural rind covers the outside. Makers use a vegetarian rennet, so the cheese suits many people who avoid animal rennet. The style is a modern British blue, not a copy of a dry, sharp classic.

Cornish Yarg is a semi-hard cheese from Cornwall, in the United Kingdom, and it is known for a coat of nettle leaves. Cow's milk is set, pressed, and brined, then the young wheel is wrapped by hand in the leaves. The paste stays pale and moist, creamier under the coat and more crumbly at the center. A typical wheel tastes mild, buttery, and a little tangy, with a fresh note from the nettles. You can buy it for a cheese board or for plain cooking.
