Wild Garlic Yarg Cornish Cheese
Wild Garlic Yarg Cornish Cheese is a more recent development of our nettle covered Yarg. Creamy and slightly crumbly, the cheese is covered in wild garlic leaves. The leaves impart a delicate garlic flavour quite unlike any other garlic cheese you have tried.
Wild Garlic Cornish Yarg Cheese is like our other cheeses made from the cows milk from our own herd and topped up with milk from our neighbours. The cheese is made in exactly the same way as the nettled covered Yarg (in the same vats by the same team of cheese makers). The cheeses are brined overnight, dried and then the leaves are placed in concentric circles on the cheese. All the leaves are picked from the woods on the farm at Pengreep. They grow between mid March and the end of April so there is a mad dash to harvest one tonne of the darlings.
The garlic leaf aids maturing, attracting a light dusting of natural white moulds which break down the cheese proteins resulting a creamy texture.
