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.

Wensleydale is a young English cheese from the United Kingdom. It is made from cow's milk and pressed into wheels or blocks that stay moist and crumbly. The flavor is mild, with a fresh tang and a light honey note. Plain wheels are white and clean tasting. Fruit versions mix the same curd with cranberries or other dried fruit, and both styles remain the same cheese.
