Cornish Yarg
Lynher Dairies Cheese CoCornish Yarg cheese is a celebration of carefully harvested nettles, plucked sustainably each spring from local woodlands and fields to create its signature, edible nettle rind.
Our unique hand-wrapping technique gives each cheese a personal touch, which, after maturing for six weeks, reveals a fresh, mushroomy flavor and a delightful crumble at its heart.

About Lynher Dairies Cheese Co
Lynher Dairies, nestled in the quaint village of Ponsanooth in mid Cornwall and managed by Catherine Mead, is the birthplace of the distinctive Yarg cheese.
Named through a creative twist by Bodmin Moor farmer Alan Gray, who stumbled upon a 17th-century recipe for nettle-wrapped cheese in his attic, Yarg is simply Gray spelled in reverse.
