This unique British artisan cheese is wrapped in stinging nettles (Urtica dioica) that are completely edible. The nettles are hand-picked from the local Cornish countryside when they are a bright, vibrant green. 

The leaves protect the cheese, while allowing it to breathe and attract the specific moulds that encourage the almost lace-like appearance of the rind to develop.

It has a delicate herbal sharpness and slightly crumbly texture.
