Pasteurized Cow's Milk

In the 1980s, Cornish farmer Alan Gray discovered a 17th-century recipe for nettle-wrapped cheese while exploring his attic, which inspired him to recreate it. Today, Catherine Mead and her dedicated team at Lynher Dairies in Ponsanooth, Cornwall, uphold this cherished tradition. Each spring, they forage nettles from local hedgerows and freeze them for use throughout the year. By the time these nettles are brushed onto the young cheeses, their sting has diminished, yet they still impart a distinctive quality to the cheese's rind. The Cornish Yarg Neal's Yard offers, made with animal rennet, is produced from milk sourced from Lynher's own Ayrshire herd and is aged for 21 to 28 days before arriving at Neal’s Yard Dairy.

Shipping Cheese

Minimum Order of $25 required to ship cheese (excluding shipping and taxes), thank you for your understanding

We ship cheese using UPS Monday through Wednesday in insulated packages. UPS Next Day or 2 Day Air is recommended for shipments to states not boarding Illinois.

Cut, Wrap & Receiving

All our orders are sliced by hand and wrapped in breathable cheese wrap. Slicing cheese is an inexact art. Weights are approximate and will vary. To ensure optimal condition upon delivery, we employ Koldtogo Extreme Cube Insulated Shipping Liners and no sweat gel ice packs. Cheese should be refrigerated immediately upon arrival

Fulfilment

To maintain quality, our cheese inventory is constantly refreshing. We cannot guarantee that a cheese is in stock at a quantity sufficient to fill an order. Orders for out of stock or limited quantities will be notified, substitutions recommended and purchases partially or wholly refunded if necessary.
