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.

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.
