A showy cream cheese wrapped in nettle leaves, with an herbaceous crust that conceals a delicate, yogurt-like, soft, creamy cheese.

The cheese is made by Catherine Mead and her team at Lynher Dairies in Ponsanooth, Cornwall. The nettles are collected from local bushes each spring and frozen for use all year round. When the nettles are brushed onto the cheese, they have lost their sting, but they still play an important role in creating the attractive rind for which the cheese is known.

Our Cornish Yarg is made exclusively from the milk of Lynher Dairy's own Ayrshire cows and is matured there for 21-28 days.

The earthy and herbaceous crust of this showy nettle-wrapped cheese hides a soft cream cheese and a crumbly core with hints of lemon and yogurt.

The perfect spring cheese, perfect for breakfast, as a snack, or as a snack for the whole family!
