A great place to start when learning how to cook with Yarg is by baking a batch of scones. Get the children involved and present them to mum for an original home-made present (which are always the best!).
Rub 500g white flour, 1 tsp bicarb of soda, 2 tsp cream of tartar, pinch of salt and 125g cold unsalted butter until it’s like fine sand. Add 100g of grated Wild Garlic Yarg or crumbled Cornish Yarg, mix briefly and then add 300ml whole milk. Mix until it becomes a dough, press out onto lightly floured surface until 4cm thick (no rolling pins please!) and cut into 12 scones. Top with more Yarg and bake at 180C for 20 mins until pale golden. Eat warm with plenty of butter and more Yarg!

Back to work, school, real life – it’s a drag after all that relaxed outdoor living. Experts say you can keep the holiday feeling going by employing the same habits you enjoyed over the summer. If you are anything like us, that means simple, good food with little or no preparation. Think picnic. Apple, Yarg, a chunk of good bread – job done (oh, and young children love to boast that they eat nettles for lunch!)
We’re busy making our Stithians cheese in the dairy at the moment (not to say we aren’t equally busy with Yarg and Kern production!) and it struck us that some of you might not be as familiar with it as you are our other cheeses.
