Location:
Garlic Yarg is made in the heart of Cornwall, England, where its production follows traditional methods passed down through generations. The lush landscapes of Cornwall provide the perfect environment for creating this distinct cheese, which is carefully crafted by hand.
Tasting:
This semi-hard cheese has a pleasantly bouncy yet creamy texture that melts effortlessly in your mouth, creating a smooth and indulgent experience. Its flavour profile is both robust and complex, offering a delightful balance of earthy, natural notes that are beautifully complemented by the savoury punch of wild garlic leaves infused throughout. The infusion of leaves adds a distinctive depth, elevating the cheese with a fragrant, aromatic quality that makes each bite truly unique.
Pairing
Wild Garlic Yarg pairs beautifully with a crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or a light, refreshing beer such as a pale ale. It’s also perfect with fresh crusty bread, crackers, or alongside a variety of fresh fruits like apples and pears. For an extra touch, try it with pickled vegetables or a drizzle of honey.
