Cornish Yarg

Cornish Yarg is truly defined by its unique nettle-wrapped rind. Each spring, Lynher Dairy carefully forages two tonnes of nettles from local woodlands and fields, picking them sustainably to protect the ecosystem. The fresh nettles are wrapped around each wheel in a beautiful, traditional pattern of concentric circles.

As it matures over six weeks, Cornish Yarg develops a delicate bloom of white mold on its leafy rind. Inside, the cheese is crumbly and bright with a fresh, mushroomy flavour that sets it apart.
