Cornish Yarg Heart Shaped Nettle Leaf-Wrapped Cheese

Cornish Yarg Heart Shaped Nettle Leaf-Wrapped Cheese

If you partner is a bit of a foodie then we have the perfect and slightly unusual gift this Valentines's Day... cheese.

Hand-made in Cornwall by award-winning artisan cheesemaker Lynher Dairies, Cornish Yarg is a semi-hard, slightly tangy cheese that tastes creamy under the rind and yet crumbly near the core.

The cheese is pressed and brined before being shaped by hand into a heart and then carefully wrapped in edible nettle leaves from neighbouring properties in Cornwall.

Nettle wrapped Cornish Yarg, winner of the Best English Cheese at the 2012 International Cheese Show, is young, fresh and creamy under its natural rind and slightly crumbly in the core. Hand made in round open vats, it is a genuinely artisan British cheese.
