Dorset Blue Vinney is a traditional blue cheese from the United Kingdom, made with cow's milk. The name points to Dorset, and vinney is an old local word for the blue mold that runs through the paste. The cheese is hard and crumbly, with a pale body and clear blue veins. It is leaner than many famous British blues because the milk was historically skimmed for butter first. A slice breaks rather than bends.

Stichelton is a blue cheese from the United Kingdom. It is made from unpasteurised cow's milk in the manner of traditional Stilton. The paste is creamy and open, with blue-green veins running through a pale body. The flavor is rich, savory, and a little spicy at the finish. It exists because a raw-milk cheese of this style cannot be sold under the Stilton name.
