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.

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.
