Cornish Brie is a soft cow's milk cheese from the United Kingdom. The name points to Cornwall, and the make follows French brie, with a white bloomy rind around a yellow buttery paste. At peak, the center turns soft and sometimes gently runny, while the flavor stays mild, creamy, and a little mushroomy. It is a British cheese in a French shape, not Brie de Meaux and not a blue. Cow's milk from that part of Britain gives the paste its deeper yellow color.

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.
