Cornish Yarg is a moist cheese which tastes fresh and creamy with a gentle tang. The cheeses are matured for a minimum of three weeks but maturation can take up to two months. During this time the crumbly paste becomes softer at the edges and this texture then advances towards the centre. The flavour becomes less tangy and more musty with age. It is believed that nettle leaves were used originally because they prevented the cheese from drying out too quickly and protected it from flies. Nettles also grew in abundance and cost nothing.The nettles are edible but most people tend to discard them. They are picked locally and are frozen and sterilised until needed. This is not only convenient but essential since the freezing takes away the sting and causes the leaves to become limp and easier to apply.
