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.

Waterloo is a semi-soft cheese from the United Kingdom, made with cow's milk from Guernsey cattle. The milk is naturally golden, so the paste is yellow rather than pale. A thin bloomy rind covers each wheel, and the cheese is milder than a ripe Brie. Makers use a washed-curd method, which means some whey is replaced with water so the acid stays lower. The center keeps a little flake, while the edge turns creamy as it ripens.
