Cornish Yarg

Welcome to the world of culinary excellence embodied by Cornish Yarg – a distinguished cheese that encapsulates the essence of artisanal craftsmanship and the natural beauty of Cornwall. With its striking appearance and captivating flavour profile, Cornish Yarg stands as a testament to the meticulous dedication that goes into creating a truly exceptional cheese.

This handcrafted masterpiece takes its name from its creator, Alan Gray, who pioneered the unique technique that gives Cornish Yarg its distinctive look. Each wheel of Cornish Yarg is encased in a delicate and edible rind of wild, hand-picked nettles, meticulously placed to create an intricate and eye-catching lattice pattern. This not only imparts a visually stunning quality to the cheese but also infuses it with a subtle, earthy flavour that complements the creamy interior.

Speaking of flavour, Cornish Yarg boasts a wonderfully complex taste profile that evolves across the palate. The centre of the cheese is luxuriously creamy with a slightly crumbly texture, offering a luscious and rich mouthfeel. As you indulge, you’ll be greeted with a harmonious interplay of delicate, herbaceous notes from the nettles, alongside the nuanced tanginess inherent in high-quality, well-aged cheeses.
