Cornish Yarg Candle

A life-sized wax homage to the unique Cornish Yarg, our candle captures its distinctive nettle-leaf rind with delicate wax detailing, mimicking the texture and natural pattern of this celebrated cheese. Unscented and hand-finished, it’s a sculptural addition to The Cheese Course collection.

Cornish Yarg was first made in the 1980s by Alan and Jenny Gray in Cornwall, using a traditional recipe where young cheese is wrapped in nettle leaves. The leaves create a natural rind and impart subtle flavors as the cheese matures, making Yarg a true regional treasure of Cornwall.

A tactile celebration of heritage and craft, this wax version brings the story and charm of Cornish cheesemaking to your table in enduring form.

FRAGILE - Please remember that natural wax is a soft and delicate material, so some imperfections may be present on the surface. Natural waxes will 'bloom', this is a natural reaction to the environment which means the candle may appear 'dusty'. This is very easy to remove with a warm hand or quick blast with a hairdryer. 

H&S - Candle safety; 
- NEVER leave a burning candle unattended.
- Always put candles on a heat resistant surface, taper candles will need a stable, heat-resistant holder with a wide footprint to prevent them falling over.
- Keep burning candles away from things that can catch fire (e.g. curtains, other fabrics, furniture, hair). Keep candles out of draughts. Don’t put under shelves (there should be at least one meter between a candle and any surface above it).
- Candles should be kept out of reach of children and pets - consider where you place them in your home carefully.
- Make sure to leave at least 10cm between two burning candles - candles like to 'jump' between each other.
- Trim your wick when needed to maintain a height of 0.5cm.
- Keep wax pool clear of matches and debris to prevent reignition.
- Extinguish candles before moving them. Make sure candles are completely extinguished.
- CANDLES ARE NOT FOOD, NOT TOYS AND SHOULD NEVER BE EATEN.
