Sage Derby is a semi-hard cow's milk cheese from the United Kingdom. It is a herb version of Derby, a mild pressed cheese with a smooth body. Sage leaves, or a sage extract with a green color from spinach or a similar plant, go into the curd. The paste shows pale green marbling against a light yellow ground. The flavor stays mild, with butter and a quiet herb note rather than a sharp bite.

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.
