Dolcelatte is a soft blue cheese from Italy, made with cow's milk. The name means sweet milk, and the taste matches that idea: creamy, mild, and only gently sharp. Blue-green veins run through a pale, spoonable paste. It is made in the manner of Gorgonzola, but it is aimed at people who want a sweeter, less forceful blue. The name is a trade name, and the cheese is sold as a mild Italian blue rather than as a long-aged wheel.

Oxford Blue is a blue cheese from the United Kingdom, made with cow's milk. The paste is semi soft and creamy, pale between blue green veins. A moist natural rind covers the cheese, and it can feel slightly sticky. The taste is tangy, salty, and aromatic, with a spicy edge that stays milder than a very old Stilton. It is a British blue for the board and the kitchen, not a hard cheese for a grater.
