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.

Y Fenni is a firm Welsh cheese made in the United Kingdom. Makers use cow's milk and blend the cheese with wholegrain mustard seed and ale. The paste is creamy and pale, with visible specks of mustard scattered through every slice. Whole wheels are coated in wax, often red and sometimes a pale yellow. The red-waxed form is also known as Red Dragon, a second name that appears on some labels.
