Humboldt Fog is an artisanal cheese produced by Cypress Grove Chevre. This distinctive cheese is notable for its creamy texture and a characteristic layer of edible ash running horizontally through the middle, which separates its slightly firmer, mold-ripened exterior from the softer, gooier interior.
