Cornish Kern is a cheese produced by Lynher Dairies Cheese, which is most famous for its Cornish Yarg. Cornish Kern is a distinctive, hard cheese that has won multiple awards, including the prestigious World Cheese Awards. Matured for around 16 months, it features a firm yet smooth texture, with some likening its flavor to a mature Gouda.
The cheese is noted for its deep, rounded buttery flavors with caramel notes and a slight nuttiness. It is crafted using pasteurized cow's milk, adding a unique profile that distinguishes it from other British cheeses.
