The stinging nettle

16 Aug

We have just recently visited Lynher Dairy, to see the home of the Yarg.

A scrumptious semi-hard cheese from Cornwall, wrapped in nettle leaves making it one of the most stunning cheeses to look at, as well as having a deliciously creamy taste. The nettle leaves create a natural and entirely edible rind.

We watched in fascination the speed in which the ‘nettlers’ wrapped the cheeses. The nettles leaves are picked locally in West Cornwall and apparently usage is approximately 3,500 kg a year – Wow!

We have come to love the Yarg and are always keen to incorporate this spectacular cheese in our individually customised cheese cakes.
