Cornish Yarg

£22.00

Description

The leaves, which attract naturally occurring moulds, are brushed onto the cheese in concentric circles. As the cheese matures, the edible wrap imparts a delicate, mushroomy taste and develops its unique bloomy white appearance.

Once matured, nettled Yarg is fresh, lemony and creamy under its beautiful rind, with an irresistible crumble in the core.

Cornish Yarg made by Lynher Dairies is a nettle wrapped semi hard cheese made from grass rich Cornish milk. Tangy under its natural rind and slightly crumbly in the core, it consistently wins top international awards.

Please allow for 10% variants on the weight as all of our cheeses are hand made and cut.

Storage & Serving

Keep well wrapped in the fridge but we do recommend removing cheese from the fridge and any wrapping to allow the cheese the ‘breath’ for an hour or two before serving which will allow the full flavour and character of the cheese to come through!

    Yarg

    The Cornish Yarg is a really lovely cheese and the nettle wrap adds to the overall taste. Excellent delivery too. Have ordered this cheese several times now.

    Delicious and a bit different

    I bought a Yarg for our annual extended family get -together. It was very popular and all disappeared. I'll be buying another next year.

    Gone in a flash

    We've always liked Yarg since we first encountered it years ago visiting the farm. Nearly a kilogram seemed a lot but it is going quickly particularly since it is in such excellent condition.
