Marble cheese is a name from the United Kingdom for cow's milk cheese that shows streaks or patches of more than one color. The usual path is to mix two curds, often white cheddar curd and orange cheddar curd tinted with annatto. The cut face looks marbled, and the cheese underneath is usually a hard pressed style. It is a way of making, not one dairy's private recipe. A block can taste mild or sharp depending on the cheddar that went into it.

Red Windsor is a semi-hard cow's milk cheese from the United Kingdom. The paste is pale cream, and veins of wine run through it in a pink and white marble. Makers often use a red wine, or a mix of port and brandy, so the color sits in the cheese rather than on the rind. A slice is firm enough to hold, and it still breaks with a creamy crumb. It is a board cheese first, with a mild fruit note that stays in the background.
