Cornish Yarg Yarg translates to cheese made from local Friesian cowsIt can be distinguished by the nettle coating whose original purpose was to prevent the cheese from deterioratingThe coating, however, allows a harmless and edible mold to grow around the cheeseIn turn, it creates a unique flavor thanks to the mold and the nettlesThe texture is also interesting, with the cheese creamier close to the coating but crumbly in the middleIt was originally created by a family with the name of Gray, which, when spelled backwards, is the source of the name Yarg. 3Clotted Cream The local cream, also called Devonshire cream, comes from unpasteurized milk heated with steamIt is then cooled down so that the clots start to formIn the end, you get a thick cream that has a high fat percentage you can either spread on bread or scones or added to teaIt is quite known all over the country as part of the afternoon tea.
