Are you planning a wedding this year? If so, we bet you’ve already had the discussion about cake or cheese tower (don’t stress about it too much, you can always go for both!).

Cornish Yarg and Wild Garlic Yarg both have stunning rinds, which is what the wedding cheese tower is really all about. More often viewed from the side, you will want your guests to be wowed by texture, colour and design. Using both Yargs (in different sizes) works stunningly well. They have contrasting patterns, different shades of green and just as importantly, distinctly different tastes.

Contrast them with a soft cheese with a creamy rind, and, if it’s a big gathering, consider a harder farmhouse cheese with a dark wax outer – don’t forget our World Champion Kern here! We sell it in 4kg truckles so this would be the perfect base.

Please do get in touch if you want to discuss possibilities. We love to talk weddings!

Nettles are extraordinary leaves. Not only do they impart a particularly delicious earthy depth to our fresh young Yargs, but they can also help with:

• muscle pain
• joint pain
• eczema
• arthritis
• hay fever
• anaemia

The list is longer, but you get the gist! So if your resolution is to eat more healthily this year, you could do a lot worse than reaching for the Yarg when you’re after a snack. Home made bread and a smidgeon of butter is allowed too (in our book anyway).

Happy New Year, everyone!

Gone are the days when the Christmas cheeseboard could be solved by a cursory supermarket sweep. Interest in British artisan cheese has soared in the last decade helped by small producers like us. It’s a friendly industry to belong to. We meet up often, and are always interested in each others’ working processes and techniques (not to mention the tasting sessions). So it gives us a real sense of pride and pleasure to see Yarg, Kern or Stithians included on a festive cheeseboard. We hope some of our cheeses have found their way on to yours and that you enjoy every crumb. We’ll be suggesting what to do with any leftovers in the new year (not that you’ll have any!).

Happy Christmas, everyone.
