Humbolt Fog is a soft-ripening goat cheese with a layer of edible vegetarian ash in the middle. It is made by Cypress Grove Chevre of Arcata, California in Humbolt County.
Humbolt Fog's natural mould rind allows for ripening from outside of the cheese while at the same time keeping the middle soft and runny. Flavors include buttermilk and fresh cream with floral notes and herbaceous overtones. The cheese has a clean citrusy finish.
The Humbolt Fog cheesemaker suggests serving the cheese with prosciutto, tart apple, Marcona Almonds or with drizzled honey. Wine pairings include light roses and Blanc de Blancs Champagne and white wines that are not more acidic than the cheese, so probably something off-dry.
