Introducing
Wild Garlic Yarg, a 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.
Yarg is made from cows milk from the herd at Lynher Dairies and topped up with milk from their neighbours. The cheese is 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.
