Humbolt Fog Cheese
From the “Fog city” comes this exciting ash layered fresh goat’s milk cheese. The wheels have a natural rind, weigh about 4 lbs. and have a single layer of vegetable ash throughout the horizontal axis of the cheese. Light, airy and rich with a crisp clean goat flavor.

Creamy, light, but earthy when young, getting more complex with age. Notes of allspice, licorice and lemon zest on the nose. Powdery, slightly dry mouth feel, with pronounced spicy flavors. Tastes of cocoa and dried black pepper, with a tangy finish. Natural white mold over black ash background, released at 6 weeks. 14 oz or 5 lb wheel.
