Chad about Cheese - Humboldt Fog

Hi everybody, Chad Rosenberg with another episode of Chad about Cheese and today we have one of my absolute favorites, Humboldt Fog.  Humboldt Fog is an American original from Humboldt County California and it's made by Cypress Grove Farms.  And when I say it's an American original, I mean that they didn't copy any of the old world cheeses from France or Spain or Italy but instead created their own
Recipe.  And this cheese won the Best of Show at the 2002 American Cheese Society Tasting.  It's a goat's milk cheese and what's really great about it is multi-textured.  So, it has this white chalky inside that looks like a fresh goat cheese but it's a bloomy rind has this creamy outside ring that gives it a great texture and flavor.  Now this blue line going down the middle is actually a line of vegetable ash.  It's not a blue cheese that doesn't have that blue flavor that some people don't like but simply adds a nice aesthetic which looks great on a cheese platter.  It's a goat's milk cheese as I said and so it's herbaceous and tangy and it goes great with white wines like chardonnay and sauvignon blanc.  So next time you're out of the cheese shop make sure you go out and try one of my favorites Humboldt Fog.
