Cornish Yarg

Cornish Yarg is a distinctive British farmhouse-style cheese made from pasteurised cow’s milk, offering a creamy texture with a gently crumbly core and a delicate, savoury flavour. Its beautiful lace-like rind is created by wrapping the cheese in locally hand-picked stinging nettles, giving it a striking appearance and subtle earthy character.

Based on a traditional Caerphilly recipe, Cornish Yarg is carefully matured beneath its edible nettle covering, which protects the cheese while allowing it to breathe and develop the natural moulds that create its characteristic rind. The result is a beautifully balanced cheese with a fresh, milky flavour, gentle tang and satisfying crumbly texture. The nettles are applied by hand in elegant concentric circles, making each cheese unique.

Pair it with fresh apples, pear or a spoonful of chutney to complement its creamy, savoury character. Also delicious with oatcakes and crusty bread, melted into toasties or served as part of a British cheeseboard alongside cured meats and pickles.
