goat milk cheese made byCypress Grove Chevre , ofArcata, California , in Humboldt County. It is named for the local ocean fog which rolls in from Humboldt Bay.Fact|date=December 2007Humboldt Fog is a mold-ripened cheese with a central line of edible ash much like Morbier. The cheese ripens starting with the bloomy mold exterior, resulting in a core of fresh goat cheese surrounded by a runny shell. As the cheese matures, more of the originally crumbly core is converted to a soft-ripened texture. The bloomy mold and ash rind are edible but fairly tasteless. The cheese is creamy, light, and mildly acidic with a stronger flavor near the rind.
This cheese won first-place awards from the
American Cheese Society in 1998, 2002 and 2005. [cite web | title=Humboldt Fog | url=http://www.cypressgrovechevre.com/cheeses/PDFs/humboldtFog.pdf]External links
