Kern – Cornish Alpine-Style Cheese with Serious Depth

Dense, complex, and nutty with a Gouda heart and Alpine soul

Kern is the award-winning hard cheese from Lynher Dairies, the makers of Cornish Yarg. Aged for 16 months, this Gouda-style cheese is crafted with Alpine starter cultures, giving it a texture and complexity more often associated with Comté or Gruyère.

Created by Catherine Mead and her team, Kern is smooth, dense, and savoury, with a nutty richness and long, satisfying finish. It’s a proud Cornish original that confidently holds its own among the world’s great mountain cheeses.

 Please note all cheeses are hand-cut, therefore the weights listed are approximate. We work very hard to cut them as accurately as we can!
