April cheesemonger choice : Cornish Garlic Yarg

A perfect pairing for Easter celebrations, Cornish Garlic Yarg brings fresh, vibrant flavour to the spring table. Wrapped in wild garlic leaves, this semi-hard cheese is as striking to look at as it is delicious to taste. Beneath its delicate rind lies a creamy, slightly crumbly texture with gentle citrus notes and a fresh, lactic brightness.

The wild garlic infusion adds a subtle savoury warmth — aromatic without overpowering — giving each bite a soft, herbaceous lift. It’s light, lively and wonderfully seasonal, much like spring itself.

Enjoy 10% off Cornish Yarg through our the month – perfect on your Easter cheeseboards with the gentle sweetness and slight tang of an apricot. This Month’s Perfect Pairing: Sheppy’s Kingston Black Cider

We’ve paired it with Sheppy’s Kingston Black, a single-varietal cider made from the renowned Kingston Black apple. This cider is beautifully rounded with a natural richness, offering crisp apple acidity balanced by soft tannins and a smooth, lingering finish. Expect notes of bittersweet apple, gentle dryness, and a refreshing orchard freshness.

Why They Work So Well Together. The bright, garlicky freshness of Yarg finds perfect harmony with the structured crispness of Kingston Black. The cider’s acidity cuts through the creamy texture of the cheese, cleansing the palate, while its subtle tannins enhance the savoury garlic notes. Together, they create a balanced, refreshing pairing — light enough for spring afternoons, yet full of character for a celebratory Easter feast.

A match that feels as fresh and hopeful as the season itself.

Values aligned

Cider comes from the land, the flavour comes from the earth and the orchard where the fruit is grown. Cheese is no different, its complexity is created by the milk, the animals and the pastures themselves. Both products rely on the terrain, soil and climate of a region for their products to flourish.

We work with cheesemakers that value the quality of what they produce and whose practices sustain our environment and cultural heritage. They produce food with a story - a provenance and place.
