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.

Wensleydale is a young English cheese from the United Kingdom. It is made from cow's milk and pressed into wheels or blocks that stay moist and crumbly. The flavor is mild, with a fresh tang and a light honey note. Plain wheels are white and clean tasting. Fruit versions mix the same curd with cranberries or other dried fruit, and both styles remain the same cheese.
