Lancashire is a cow's milk cheese from the United Kingdom. The name refers to a historic county in the north of England, and the cheese is still tied to that part of the country. Makers mill and salt the curd, then press it lightly, so the paste stays open and moist. Young cheese is mild and buttery. Cheese kept longer turns firmer, drier, and sharper on the tongue.

Parlick Fell is a sheep's milk cheese from the United Kingdom. The name comes from Parlick Fell, a hill whose grazing country is linked with the milk. The cheese is white, semi-soft, and a little crumbly, with a tangy, nutty flavor. It is sold as a block for slicing, not as a fresh curd in brine. Sheep's milk gives it a richer, creamier feel than many mild cow's milk cheeses of the same firmness.
