Cornish Kern Cheese

Cornish Kern is a hard farmhouse cheese made from Ayrshire cow's milk by the Lynher Dairies Cheese Company. It is an aged version of Cornish Yarg, floated in a briny bath, and then coated with a breathable black wax for twenty months of maturation. Originally derived from a Gouda-style cheese, Cornish Kern includes Alpine starter cultures, giving it a unique character. The name "Kern," meaning "round" in Cornish, reflects its shape. This cheese has a slightly flaky texture in the center and offers dense, fruity, nutty, salty, and savory flavors with smoky and sweet undertones.
