The aromatic ramson leaf-wrapped Cornish Yarg, made from pasteurised cows’ milk, is a fresh, lemony cheese. It is creamy under its natural rind and slightly crumbly in the core. The leaves, which attract naturally occurring moulds, are brushed onto the cheese in concentric circles. As the cheese matures, the edible wild garlic rind imparts a delicate, mushroomy taste and develops its unique bloomy white appearance.

Ingredients: Cow's MILK, Salt, Wild Garlic Leaves, Vegetarian Rennet, Starter Culture.

Suitable for Vegetarians

Wrap in waxed paper, store below 8°C and serve at room temperature.

Cornish Yarg comes from a small dairy at Ponsanooth in mid Cornwall, but is sold all over the world. The nettle-covered Cornish Yarg has been in production for thirty years and is made by a small team of 30 people, from cheese-makers to nettlers and packers; most of them live in the immediate rural catchment area around the dairy.

The origin of Cornish Yarg began with Alan Gray in 1984, who found a 16th century cheesemaking recipe in his attic. After a few trials, a new cheese emerged – Yarg. Inspiration for the name came from spelling ‘Gray’ backwards.Fast forward 40 years, Lynher Dairies are the only maker of Cornish Yarg and its iconic nettle covering.Cornish Yarg is made by hand in open vats. The nettle leaves, which attract naturally occurring moulds, are foraged by hand each year, frozen, and ‘painted’ on by their team of Nettlers. As the cheese matures for 4-6 weeks, the edible rind develops a bloomy appearance.
