A multiple award-winner and crowned Supreme Champion at the World Cheese Awards, Cornish Kern is a triumph of British cheesemaking. Made in the Alpine tradition and aged for up to two years, it’s a firm, velvety cheese with a beautifully black wax-coated rind.
The flavour is rounded and complex—sweet and nutty at first, deepening into rich caramelised notes with a whisper of umami. Its dense, smooth texture is dotted with delicate tyrosine crystals that hint at its long maturation and skilled aging.
A sophisticated alternative to Comté or Gruyère, Cornish Kern brings Cornish terroir to the Alpine palate.
Pairing Suggestions
• Wine: Aged white Burgundy or dry Madeira
• Charcuterie: Outstanding with Wagyu beef salami or Suffolk pastrami
• Accompaniments: Caramelised onion chutney, roasted hazelnuts, or rye crisps
