Cornish Yarg, Nettle, Cows Milk, 200g

Cornish Yarg Nettle Cheese is 200g of Cornish Yarg, the uniquely presented British cheese with its edible hand-pressed nettle leaf rind, made in Cornwall from the milk of local dairy herds. Cornish Yarg nettle cheese is the most distinctive British artisan cheese. As a result, the nettle rind creates a dramatic visual presentation and imparts a subtle earthy, herbal note to the crumbly white interior. Furthermore, the nettle leaves mould naturally during ageing, adding complex rind character. In particular, serve with good Cornish butter and good bread for the most appropriate regional pairing.

About Cornish Yarg Nettle Cheese

We source British artisan cheese from the finest independent cheesemakers across England, Scotland and Wales. In particular, British artisan cheese has undergone a remarkable renaissance over the last thirty years. As a result, a Colston Bassett Stilton, a Baron Bigod or a Westcombe Cheddar represents the very best of what British cheese can achieve. Furthermore, many British artisan cheeses are made by individual cheesemakers using milk from named farms and specific breeds. However, the range of British artisan cheese is extraordinary — from crumbly Caerphilly to crystalline Cheddar to bold blues. In particular, most producers here have a long commitment to traditional and slow methods. Additionally, Slow Food, PDO and PGI protection covers several significant British cheeses. That commitment to British artisan quality defines every cheese we offer. That is why this product from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cheese lovers.

Why Choose Cornish Yarg Nettle Cheese From Us

Using British artisan cheese well rewards the same basic approach as any great cheese: room temperature and good bread. In contrast to serving straight from the fridge, British hard cheeses open up considerably. As a result, always remove from the fridge at least 30 minutes before serving. Furthermore, a good Stilton suits port and both suit the end of a fine meal. However, British Cheddar suits a ploughman’s, a sandwich and cooking in equal measure. In particular, many of these cheeses are made in very small quantities by single cheesemakers committed to traditional methods. Moreover, British artisan cheese suits pairing with chutneys, pickles and British ales. Additionally, blues benefit from 45 minutes at room temperature for the fullest flavour. That British artisan quality and diversity define every cheese in this range.

How to Serve Cornish Yarg Nettle Cheese

To get the very best from it:
