Dubliner is a brand of hard cow's milk cheese made in County Cork, Ireland. The paste is firm, pale gold, and a little crumbly, with small white crystals that crunch against the knife. The flavor sits between a mature cheddar and a sweet, nutty grating cheese. It is sold in wedges and blocks rather than as a fresh round. The brand name recalls Dublin, while the cheese itself comes from County Cork.

Imokilly Regato is a brand of hard cow's milk cheese from Mogeely in Ireland. The paste is firm and dry enough to grate, with a color from straw yellow to golden cream and a flavor that is sweet, nutty, and lightly sharp. Wheels and blocks are both sold, and the faces of the cheese carry a cord motif pressed into the surface. It is a cooking and grating cheese, and it also sits on a board when you want a firm slice rather than a soft spread.
