Wild Garlic Yarg - this delicious semi-hard cheese from near Truro in Cornwall, is creamy and slightly crumbly, the cheese is covered in wild garlic leaves which impart a delicate garlic flavour quite unlike any other garlic cheese you have tried.
The cheese is made in exactly the same way as the nettled covered Yarg (in the same vats by the same team of cheese makers). The cheeses are 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 them.
The garlic leaf aids maturing, attracting a light dusting of natural white moulds which break down the cheese proteins resulting a creamy texture.
