Description
Made on the edge of Bodmin Moor by Lynher Dairies, Cornish Kern is a modern British classic that has quickly earned a place among the country's finest cheeses. Crafted from the rich milk of grass-fed Cornish cows and matured at length, it develops remarkable depth and complexity while keeping a beautifully smooth, supple interior.
Beneath its distinctive black coating sits a firm, golden paste flecked with tiny crystals that add a delicate crunch. The flavour is rich and savoury, with notes of toasted nut and caramelised butter.
From the same dairy that makes the classic Cornish Yarg, this one is certain to make an impact on any cheeseboard you put together.
How much to buy
All cheeses are hand cut, therefore the weights listed are approximate. We work very hard to cut them as accurately as we can and happy to offer advice on purchasing the right amount if you are unsure. If you would like a price for larger weights or whole cheeses, please call us.
Delivery
Your cheese is cut fresh to order, wrapped and packed by hand and delivered on the day you choose. We deliver across the UK from Tuesday to Friday each week. If you are ordering for a gift or special occasion we advise you to always allow an extra day in case of any unforeseen courier delays.
Recipe / pairing suggestion
Rich enough to stand up to a dark beer or a heavy red. Also very good grated over a gratin, where the caramel notes come forward.
Won World Champion and then some. That black coat hides a properly complex cheese.
