Made at Lynher dairies, makers of Yarg and Kern, Stithians was born from a question. What would happen if they didn’t wrap a batch of Yarg in leaves but left it to mature just as it is when it comes out of the brine? The answer turned out to be delicious. Now using a developed recipe, Stithians, named after their local village, has an aroma of farmhouse with distinct "cheesy" notes reminiscent of young Tomme de Savoie. The taste is rich, with a creamy rounded flavour and a characteristic clean tang.

All our products are packed in Cheese Cuisine boxes (unless you have ordered a giftbox or added a hamper to your order) with filling (bubble wrap where needed) and gel ice packs when required, to preserve the quality of fresh products.

Your cheese will arrive wrapped in speciality cheese paper and we recommend you refrigerate it as soon as it arrives. We recommend using your cheese within five days of purchase, however, many cheeses will last far longer. To serve, take your cheese out of the fridge, unwrap, and let it come to room temperature before serving (about an hour). To see more about taking care of cheese click here.

However, if your order is a gift, select the option at check-out to include a personal message on a gift card with information letting the recipient know how they can find out about their products on our website.

Over the past 20 years Lynher Dairies has grown and expanded very successfully and is now processing 2,100,000 litres of milk a year and making just over 210 tonnes of cheese. The handmade cheese making process is monitored carefully and precisely from milk production through to the finished product. This means they have more consistency, full traceability and the ability to control every single aspect of production. With a team of just under 20, the Dairy feels like a little community. Many of the staff have been at the Dairy since the beginning, over 20 years ago.
