Cornish Yarg Nettle Leaf – MLFC Retail Pack 10 x 150g Approx

A cheese reminiscent of Caerphilly, enveloped in nettle leaves, offers a refreshing, tangy, and creamy flavour with a crumbly centre. The humble nettle plays a starring role in the story of Cornish Yarg’s origin. In 1984, Alan Gray discovered a 16th-century guide to cheesemaking in his attic. Through a series of experiments, a unique cheese emerged—Yarg, a name ingeniously derived by reversing ‘Gray’. Jump to four decades later, Lynher Dairy remains the exclusive maker of Cornish Yarg, celebrated for its unique nettle-coated rind. This handcrafted cheese matures with naturally forming moulds that create an intricate pattern among the nettle leaves. Allergy notice: contains pasteurised cow’s milk. Suitable for vegetarians.
