Location

Based in Cornwall, England, Lynher Dairies has been producing cheese since the 1980s. They also received the Kings Award for Enterprise in Sustainable Development in 2024, a testament to their commitment to artisan cheese.

Tasting

Cornish Kern has been derived from a Gouda-style cheese, enhanced with Alpine starter cultures. The curds are scalded to create a caramelised flavour, after which it is pressed into large moulds. After brining and coating in wax, the cheese is matured for over 20 months. It has a deliciously nutty, deep, round flavour.

Pairing

This cheese is creamy and nutty with caramelised flavours, so it would pair beautifully with fruit jams or fresh fruits, such as grapes or figs. This would pair well with sparkling wines, including Champagne, Cava, and Prosecco, as the crisp bubbles balance the creaminess of the cheese. Fortified wines, such as Sherry and Port, make for bold pairings. Or consider Italian Soave or French Picpoul which would beautifully balance and accentuate this Cornish Kern.
