Lincolnshire Poacher is a hard cheese from the United Kingdom, made with raw cow's milk and aged until the paste is firm and full of flavor. The name points to Lincolnshire in England, and the cheese itself is a farmhouse wheel rather than a plain factory block. The interior is pale gold and smooth, with a natural rind that turns brownish as it dries. It is a board cheese and a grating cheese, and it also melts in cooked dishes when the heat stays gentle.

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.
