Humboldt Fog
Humboldt Fog is a soft-ripened goat's milk cheese from Cypress Grove in Humboldt County, California, instantly recognizable by the thin ribbon of vegetable ash that runs right through the middle of the wheel. The ash line is a nod to the French Morbier, and it helps the cheese ripen evenly from the rind inward.
The paste does two things at once. Just under the bloomy white rind you get a glossy cream line that gets softer and more spoonable as the wheel matures, and toward the center the cheese stays brighter and a little chalky. On the palate it leads with that classic fresh goat lactic tang, lemony and clean, then opens into a soft mushroomy note from the rind and a cool, almost vegetal whisper from the ash. The finish is tidy and citrusy rather than funky.
This is one of the cheeses that put American artisan goat cheese on the map, and it still earns the attention. Cut a wedge so every slice carries rind, cream line, and chalky core in one bite, that's where the whole cheese makes sense.
