Humboldt Fog
(Goat’s milk, Cypress Grove Chèvre, California)

The grayish-blue streak running through the white, chalky center of Humboldt Fog is often mistaken for blue mold, but it's actually flavorless vegetable ash, which also lightly covers the soft, exterior rind. Mildly goaty and tangy, often fluffy in the middle with a runny texture and stronger flavor around the rind as it ages. Humboldt Fog is Cypress Grove's signature cheese. The same flavor is available in a smaller wheel called "Fog Light."

Cypress Grove Chèvre has been a leader in the domestic goat cheese industry since the early 80's. It is based in northern California and run by Mary Keehn and her daughters.
