Tasting Notes:
As the cheese matures, the edible nettle-wrap imparts a delicate, mushroomy taste and develops its unique bloomy white appearance. Once matured, it is fresh, lemony and creamy, with an irresistible crumble in the core.
Story:
The leaves, which attract naturally occurring moulds, are hand brushed onto the cheese in concentric circles. Yarg was first produced over thirty years ago on Bodmin Moor by a farmer named Alan Gray who found a seventeenth century recipe in an attic and decided to give it a go. Yarg comes from the backward spelling of his surname.
Awards:
Best English Cheese at the International Cheese Awards 2012. Gold at the British Cheese Awards 2016 and 2017. Gold at the World Cheese Awards 2017.
