Cornish Yarg 150g|250g

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 Dairy is the only maker of Cornish Yarg and its iconic nettle covering.

Wrapped in stinging nettles, Cornish Yarg is a Caerphilly-style, semi-hard cheese with a truly unique character. It’s nettle rind creates a striking appearance while helping the cheese develop its delicate, complex flavour and creamy,yet crumbly texture.
