Duddleswell is a hard sheep's milk cheese made in England. The milk is pasteurised, and the rennet is suitable for vegetarians. A natural rind forms while the cheese matures, and the paste inside is pale, smooth, and creamier than many hard wheels. The name comes from an English place, but the cheese is sold well beyond that spot. Sheep's milk gives it a rich body and a flavor that stays nutty rather than sharp.

Sussex Slipcote is a fresh sheep's milk cheese from England. The paste is soft, moist, and almost fluffy, closer to a light curd than to a wheel you slice with force. Makers use pasteurised ewe's milk, and the cheese is sold young, often in a small round. The name is old English dairy speech for a little cottage cheese, and it also fits a soft piece that slips from a thin coat. Plain and flavored versions share that same gentle body.
