Corish Kern from Lynher Dairies
A great challenge: to find the best of the best cheeses among 3001 cheeses . But yes, they have succeeded. And the winner is catherine mead , the creator of this cheese that tries to emanate the flavors of Cornwall from her, where she has been producing this variety for three years. Their cornish kern has fooled the expert palates of the World Cheese Awards and has put his Cornish dairy, Lynher Dairies, in the eye of the cheese hurricane.

On her website, Catherine explains that she started her project with a Cornish Yarg (the first variety that she made-and makes-with the recipe inherited from a local producer, which had not been produced for more than thirty years) and that after a humble but successful career, it was time to make a new cheese: her cornish kern , awarded tonight. Like the Yarg variety, this one is made in open vats, pressed and processed with brine baths and then matured between 14 and 18 months. The result? A flaky texture, almost dry, with a flavor with hints of walnuts.

THE PROCESS: A BLIND TASTING
the family company The Guild of Fine Food is in charge of organizing, year after year, this macro world cheese tasting. The juries deliberated in teams of four to identify the cheeses worthy of the bronze, silver and gold awards . They always pay particular attention to the rind, the body of the cheese, its color, texture, consistency and flavor.
None of the members of the jury, during this process, has been able to see the data of the cheese (neither its producer nor its name or origin): the only point of reference in each cheese is the label with the product code . After the initial round of qualifications, each panel of judges selects a supergold of the cheese. These are evaluated until selecting the best 16 of the year. And finally, the definitive cheese of the year.
