How Cornish Cheese Is Made Using A 400-Year-Old Recipe | Regional Eats

- If there were a competition for the most beautiful cheese, Cornish Yarg would claim the title. Each cheese is wrapped in wild stinging nettles, which are brushed on by hand one by one. With aging, the nettles form a natural rind around the cheese, giving it a fresh, creamy taste with hints of herbs, mushrooms, seaweed, and even lemon. So how did this recipe even come about? It was actually found randomly in a book about 400 years ago. We visited Lynher Dairies in the heart of Cornwall to find out more.

![How a Master Cheese Maker Perfected An Irish Smoked Cheese [Advertiser Content From YETI]](/img/n.gif)
Claudia is so lucky to be able to taste all these interesting cheese. And it's always entertaining listening to her.
We work to eat meanwhile Claudia eat to work
nettle dont really have a taste of something i was make it in my slowjuicer or bite on it mhhh its not really tasting its taste like almost nothing how can make this a taste ? ...dellusional
She's below average. In one episode she didn't even try the product. She's clearly just favoured by a producer.
What's lucky about it ?
@@Winterstorm137 shes really bad i almost cant stand her and watch the video. Boring persona. Wtf happened at food insider to make this person the face of regional eats
I think we can all agree that Food Insider is THE go-to for cheese videos. 😄
And Claudia is Cheese Girl.
And BUTTER! 😂😍
Cheese Insider channel when?
You need to look at Gavin Webber's channel for the ultimate cheese experience.
The Australian series "Cheese Slices" is also really good.
This girl is everywhere tasting every rare cheese in the world. what wholesome job.
and getting paid to do it....
Early humans always amaze me: this leaf stings my hand... I will put it around a cheese! 😂
The first one to try milk was brave haha
Those were not early humans lol
@@IndrasChildDeepAsleep Nah dude everyone in the 1600 were actually Neanderthals.
Lol we put those leaves in risotto here in Italy
In my home country Bulgaria they make a soup with the stinging plant
It's really great to see all these UK based episodes recently. Too many times I hear people say that Britain has no cuisine or it's rubbish. We have great things if you know where to look
This is true actually. The UK is great for dairy products for sure
UK is known for it's cheese
@josh mbunta cuz land of not actually free is original with burgers isnt it
I'm an Italian living in the UK, and I drool at the thought of a cornish pasty or a proper pork pie. Two of my most favorite foods ever. While the food of my country will always be my favorite, the UK is definitely one of the nations in which I've eaten the best. Both for its traditional dishes, as well as the large variety of quality world cuisine you can find even in the smallest village.
I also love the cheese in this video. In my opinion way underrated (or little-known, anyway, for some reason).
The problem is that you have to look.
Claudia you are the best
“They are always wants to knit itself together” Leighton said
“Oh I see, cause they remember where they came from” Claudia says
You are just so pure
But not mentioned is that Yarg is the family name of Gray spelled backwards, the farmers who found the 1615 recipe in their attic.
oooh I thought she was saying "cornish shark" because the nettle leaves look like shark teeth!
I wish they talked more about how they found it
@@katherinetutschek4757 Read the Wikipedia article
That’s correct! The original makers are my grandparents. My nan used to say that they had got the idea of inverting the name from Trebor mints which was founded by a gentleman called Robert
Lol here in Australia we say grey and i was about to correct you 😑
One of my favourite cheeses yet I didn’t know how it’s made. The wild garlic Yarg is also amazing.
I love the wild garlic one- had some yesterday!
The smell of fresh wild garlic in the hedgerows before you pick it is divine! This cheese is awesome too
I’d love to try this cheese one day. The garlic kind sounds amazing!
Claudia is absolutely killing it with this series!!! I hope this series expands further.
The nettle in the UK looks very different than it is found in the Himalayan belts. We have two types here, slender and rough ones - the rough ones are really coarse and are used as Pigs feed while the slender ones make delicious soup. Just sharing.
They make soup out of nettles here in parts of England too. Am no expert on nettles but am sure the nettle leafs around me are smaller than the ones in the video.
In Ireland we make nettle soup too it's traditionally said to be good for cleansing the blood, and we know know that it's a great source of iron! So that checks out.
In the U.K. people Tea from them
up in Idaho there's a campground that I visited as a child that would always have stinging nettle. I remember them having very small leaves and mostly just being stalks and bulbs, but maybe it was actually a different plant and we just called it stinging nettle.
In the Caribbean we use the stinging nettle for teas & health purposes. Nice to know it’s used for other things…. So cool
It’s common to make Tea from nettles in the U.K. too! Especially if we’re sick
Thoroughly enjoy seeing the artisans who keep 400 year old traditions alive. Cheese is always a beautiful thing but this is truly a beautiful cheese
Made just down the road from me. Superb cheese with a great flavour. Well done you bunch of ansome bleddy nettlers!!
Truro here, great to see our local produce getting some spotlight!
Penryn here!
Thanks Claudia, this was really interesting. I've never heard of Yarg cheese before and will forward this to my friends in Somerset who may like to try it.
In my country, in April or early May we eat young stinging nettle's leaves that we put on little butter and out 2 3 eggs on it. Also we make like a casserolle with young stinging nettle. It is really tasty and nettle is one super healthy plant.
This cheese is most likely rare because nobody would look at cheese and say: *”Hey, I am going to put leaves on that.”*
Given that humans looked at an animal's tits and said "I am going to drink that", putting leaves on cheese seems like a much tamer idea.
@@scientia.veritas true that tho
@Ted Hubert Pagnanawon Crusio Spoiled fruit juice can turn into alcohol just by leaving it. Ever accidentally drink bad milk? There is no comparison.
@@emmakai2243 the problem would be a bunch of stuff other than alcohol that might be cultured
Heck I'm trying this with cheddar and lemon grass
Thank you, again, Ms. Romeo, for another wonderful episode about another wonderful example Europe's amazing gastronomical achievements in the production of simple but exquisite foods!
😘
Nettles are everywhere in the UK, they aren't fun to get stung by
Me, whos never heard of Cornish yarg cheese: How DO they make it?
Lived here all my life and never even heard of this! Wonderful to learn
Me tooo
Cornish Yarg Cheese looks DELICIOUS!
yummy!! i love cheese it tastes so good :D
It tastes delicious as well.
It is. One of my favourites, with stilton and Cheshire too.
*Yarg is Gray spelled backwards.* Interesting that the origin of the name wasn’t mentioned. Yarg is named after the two farmers who discovered the old recipe and recreated it in the 1980s. 😀
Another great video, Claudia! Keep 'em coming...I enjoy every one.
Cornish ice cream is also SO good! They must have the best dairy cows
Cornish cream is considered one of the best in the world, especially cornish clotted cream
We got the best dairy cows down here
a relatively warm and humid climate makes lush grass pastures on which the cows are grazed all year, it's also theorised the high acidity and lack of calcium bearing minerals in the soil does something to the milk but there is no ratified studies i know of.
We do dairy products well down here, along with pastry.
My Butcher in Norfolk sells a local nettle wrapped medium one. It's Lush. Chapman and son of Martham.
I remember going to Cornwall 24 years ago and visiting the dairy. They were just about to close to visitors but one of the Gray family took us round and told us all about it.
Lovely cheese
your channel is amazing! when notifications for your videos arrive, I'm happy because I know you're dedicated to showing the best to your followers! keep this humility and God will give you a great reward and put you in a place that many did not believe you would reach. God bless you and your family and a big kiss here in Brazil
Claudia showing us hundreds of Cheese types
me : can only afford processed cheese that tastes like plastic
You're in the USA then? 🤣
Visiting the yarg farm was a delight and have been eating yarg for at least 20 years.... 💓 Cornwall
Crazy i live just a few miles from where it is made and yet never knew it existed.
When I visit the UK... Cheese will be at the top of my to buy list.
It's delicious cheese. I live in cornwall and eat it regularly.
interesting that the cheese is coated in nettles and that it increases the flavour i would have never have known that.
Dear Miss M.- C.
I use nettle leaves in soups, salads etc.p.p.. I like nettles better than spinach (maybe because I'm not Popeye!).
Best regards, luck and health.
@@Chr.U.Cas1622 i bet it's super delicious, wow i haven't heard popeye being mentioned in many many years!
@@MissMultiConsole
Thanks for replying.
Maybe simply try nettles? Attention: Harvest, wash and cut them with rubber gloves on! On the other hand it's said that it's healthy to get "nettled" (at least if it isn't the whole body). ;-) After being cooked or dipped in boiling water, they definitely don't sting anymore.
You can also use nettle leaves in smoothies and especially in Italian Pesto!!! Delicious!
2) Every time spinach is mentioned I instantly think of Popeye and Olive.
Sincerely yours
@@Chr.U.Cas1622 oliveoil*
Also, you can watch it on MeTV!
They also do a wild garlic one and it's divine!
Good to see a product from my part of the world featured.
Its nice to see Claudia actually like something not from Italy! Che buono!
Looks amazing, I need to go to Britain now.
With stinging nettles you can also make pesto
"They remember where they came from"
So cute though
You can make vegetarian cheese with nettles. Replacing the enzyme that comes from calves. Though it is a short term cheese - 2 months.
nessles are itchy & causes alergy , its amazing they nutrilize its allergic compounds
We serve this cheese at the place where I work here in Cornwall, Trevibban Mill Vineyard and Orchards- I'm lucky enough to be able to eat the odd offcut here and there, really nice stuff- great vid
Insider has really inspired me to make my own mini documentaries on UA-cam about food and other businesses.
Claudia Fan over here: she is perfect cus she takes time to listen her hosts and she always respects their culture.
"the cheese will be very metallic, very cheddary, which you don't want"
cheese maker shade
Those leaves cooked with some fried eggs and polenta beside it is heaven on your tongue.
I've spent countless summers trying to eradicate stinging nettles and here you are putting it on the cheese. Funny world sometimes.
I am so jealous of Claudia, she gets to taste all these amazing things...
That looks good, and with the lemon taste I wanna eat it
Many amazing culinary discoveries around the world happened when ages ago someone wrapped food with leaves then forgot about it.
Stinging nettle is a super food on its own.
MS MAAM CLAUDIA ROMEO NOW BACK WITH THE CHEESE VIDS THE WORLD IS HEALING
Anyone wanting to know what yarg is like. I'm not a cheese expert, this is written for the average cheese eater with comparisons and descriptions.
The closest I can tell you the texture is like edam. Slight flex and a softness to the bite. It does not crumble at all, a slice will crack at the rind and the partitions meet cleanly toward the centre as it bends. It has a firmer brie like quality to it, so its got more bite on the outer edges and a bit of a flex to the centre but the flavour is deeper than edam and it will bite back so expect a tang but it's not offensive. Imagine a milder brie flavour with a firmer edam texture in the centre. The rind is not as soft as brie and actually is in my opinion the way you can tell how fresh the cheese is by how dry and hard the rind is. the nettles have the same crispness of dried seaweed with light lemon flower and spinach flavours.
I'm watching from Texas and I am in absolute awe. 💜
My best fantasy trip would be to travel to find cheeses like this.
Claudia is awesome! Keep it up!
The art of eating the cheese + the artwork form of cheese
I'd kill for some Yarg right now. Food insider has that effect on me!
That's the long-standing lifehack for wildlife camping: if you have to leave raw meat/fish overnight, wrap it with nettle to prevent from rotting.
What a beautiful world in which we live
That nettler lady voice is very calming
I like watching your videos Claudia,
The host looks like she would give great hugs
So that's what makes is so creamy and tasty..
Super cool! I want to try that cheese!
We eat nettles too - I really want to try this !
Sticking those leaves looks fun
Guy at 1:16 sounds like he should be telling me to clean my room
This grow everywhere where I live the natives still boil it and consume it
Food insider = relaxing cheese videos.
I'm embarrassed to admit that despite living in and around Cornwall, I have never heard of this cheese up until now. That's how rare it must be. Makes me love the place even more.
You and me both.
Disgraceful
@@gorillachilla What?
@Tonk disgraceful
@@gorillachilla What that I live in a place and haven't tried all their food?
Never seen these cheese before! Now I am interested.
I highly recommend this cheese if you can get hold of it.
i cant imagined that very stingy plants grow anywhere use in cheese..
I like how she compares everything about the cheese to something Italian...
Claudia is so beautiful and her voice quality is equally mesmerizing... Makes the topic even more interesting 🙂😉
Claudia is so cute whenever she get the chance to taste all the cheese she visited in every cheese factory 😅
Just watching somebody handling nettles make my skin itchy.
I eat this cheese from time to time and had no idea what it took to make it!
I see Claudia i click
Those 5 dips are more of a ritual than anything else.
OCD 😁
You’ve obviously never handmade a large quantity of things. Take rice paper. Dips are easier to control than soaks.
But go off, lmao
She’s holding a stinging nettle!! Mad man
"Yarg" is Gray spelled backwards... this is supposedly one of the name origins for the cheese...
Who else got punished by nettle plants in childhood 😂
“Only 5 people in the world know how to do it” until this videos
Beautiful cheese, so delicate
Claudia is so pure
Wow very nice and Amazing Brilliant mind, I love it 💞🙏 watching from the Philippines 💞💞🙏🕊️🕊️💕
Claudia is my favorite food insider.
yum, that would go nice on Sundays bacon and mince Toast, w an extra dollop of Sour Cream 🍻🌈
reminds me of how Lembas bread was wrapped in the LOTR movies.
That leaf right there is the most dreadful piece of leaf of my childhood..while cheese is one my favorite foods.
Combining them together would be a real love-hate relationship 😂😂😂
So unique even I haven't heard of this and I'll British
Delicious 😋
this cheese is beautiful
love that cornish accent!
looks very good
Recently it seems a lot of Italians are Emigrating to England I'm not sure if Brexit made it easier but where I live we have 3 Italian Cafes down one street with the majority of employees from the same family they are insanely good too. Italians are such nice people almost suspiciously too nice.
Awesome!
"This cheese tastes awful".
Mum - "Eat a dock leaf"
We need Claudia for every cheese episode!
