Cornish Yarg Cheese by Lynher Dairies 1kg
Brand: Lynher Dairies Cheese co.
A Unique and delightfully pretty hand-made cheese
wrapped up in nettle leaves giving a subtle mushroomy flavour.
Creamy under the rind and slightly crumbly in the core, it is a
young cheese with a fresh, slightly lemony tangy taste. Made by
hand in open round vats using pasteurised milk from their grass fed
herd of Holstein/Fresian cows, Cornish Yarg is a delicious
semi-hard cheese from Lynher Dairy, Cornwall, in the South West of
England. After pressing, the nettle leaves are picked from the
hedgerows and woods on nearby farms; they are frozen and then
applied individually by hand. The leaves are carefully brushed onto
the cheese in a traditional pattern and they attract wonderful
natural occurring moulds of various colours, which help the cheese
ripen. As the cheese matures, these edible nettles impart a
delicate, slightly mushroomy taste. The final product has an
attractive, lacy pattern of leaves in blue and green, giving the
cheese a very unique appearance. The recipe for Cornish Yarg was
invented by Alan Gray. When trying to find an appropriate name for
the cheese, a lateral-thinking friend suggested that 'Gray' spelled
backwards sounded very Cornish and the name stuck. Milk Type: Cow
