Humboldt County, California is home to towering redwoods, rocky coastline and cheesemaker extraordinaire, Mary Keehn, the pioneering mastermind behind Cypress Grove who helped make goat cheese an American staple when, twenty years ago, it was a rarity. Further enlightenment has been granted by tossing a handful of truffles into the fresh, flaky paste of their flagship cheese, Humboldt Fog. Other cheeses might boast truffle 'flavor' or 'essence'; the Tremor is laden with flecks of actual black truffles. Dense, cakey pasteurized goat cheese with a fine bloomy rind takes on a sexy richness with a few weeks of cave aging. Truffles, bloomy rind, obviously drink a dry sparkler.
