Cotswold is a variation of Double Gloucester, originating from Gloucestershire County. The cheese is made with cow's milk, and it's enriched with onions and chives. The color of this cheese varies from golden yellow to orange, and its texture is firm, dense, and crumbly.
Cotswold's flavor is sweet, buttery, and tangy, while onions and chives provide it with an extra layer of flavor. Cotswold is also known as pub cheese in England, so it is recommended to pair it with a cold beer on the side.

Sage Derby is one of England's oldest cheeses, produced in the region of Derbyshire. The cheese is made with cow's milk, and it's characterized by its unusual marbled visual appearance, a result of infusion with sage, which also gives the cheese a subtle herbaceous flavor.
However, spinach, marigold, and parsley can also be used instead of sage, but the practice is not that common. Sage Derby is aged for 1 to 3 months, and due to its good melting properties, it pairs with vegetables, fresh fruit, rye bread, and poultry.
Cornish Yarg is an English cheese hailing from Cornwall. This semi-hard cheese is made from pasteurized cow's milk. It's wrapped in nettle leaves and matures for 5 weeks. The nettles give the cheese a latticed imprint, attract natural molds, and impart a mushroomy note to the cheese as it ages.
Underneath the nettle-wrapped rind, the texture is creamy and crumbly. The aromas are grassy and mushroomy, while the flavors are lemony and mushroomy. The cheese was first produced on Bodmin Moor by Alan Gray, who produced Cornish Yarg according to a 17th-century recipe found in his attic.
