Hereford Hop is a semi-hard cow's milk cheese from the United Kingdom. Pasteurized milk is set into a creamy, sliceable paste, and the outside is coated with toasted hops. Those hops give the rind a rough, fragrant crust and a slightly bitter, citrus edge. The interior is buttery and nutty, with a mild sweetness. It is an English cheese sold for the board and for simple cooking.

Y Fenni is a firm Welsh cheese made in the United Kingdom. Makers use cow's milk and blend the cheese with wholegrain mustard seed and ale. The paste is creamy and pale, with visible specks of mustard scattered through every slice. Whole wheels are coated in wax, often red and sometimes a pale yellow. The red-waxed form is also known as Red Dragon, a second name that appears on some labels.
