Humboldt Fog
Template:Short description Template:Infobox Cheese
Humboldt Fog is a goat milk cheese made by Cypress Grove, of Arcata, California, in Humboldt County. It is named for the local ocean fog which rolls in from Humboldt Bay.[1][2] It is an uncooked pressed cheese made from pasteurized goat's milk.[3]
Humboldt Fog is a mold-ripened cheese with a central line of edible white 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 of minute distinct taste. The cheese is creamy, light, and mildly acidic with a stronger flavor near the rind.[4]
This cheese won first-place awards from the American Cheese Society in 1998, 2002 and 2005.[5][6]
