Cornish Yarg

Yarg is Yunique!

A moist cheese from Cornwall with a fresh, creamy taste and a quality all of its own - derived from the hand-applied covering of nettles.  A great-looking, great-tasting and - let's say it again - unique cheese.  Full wheels of Yarg weigh in at 3kg, but the Baby Yarg is also available - a small truckle of around 900g.  Complete wheels of Yarg look fantastic - we often seem to use them for our cheese wedding cakes to great effect, as one of the lower layers.

If you know Yarg in this version - the most common - why not have a look at Wild Garlic Yarg, where the nettles are replaced by wild garlic leaves?  As well as Tiskey, Lynher Dairies also makes Stithians and the herb-flavoured Cornish Garland.

NB:  We know that the appearance of Yarg - like many of our artisan cheeses - can vary.  Here's what Lynher Dairies, the makers say:  "This is a naturally mould-ripened cheese, producing rinds/moulds that can vary in colour - from a white dusty mould when young, to a light brown/yellow mould, as the cheese matures.  This is completely natural and does not affect the cheese in any way".
