Description: Dark yellow, and slightly grainy, this semi-hard cheese is often used for melting (it is the main ingredient of that decadent gem known as fondue!). It is recognizable by the tiny holes in its brown rind. Gruyere is made in the mountains of Switzerland, and cave aged for a year. Its taste can range from fruity to a wonderful toasted almond flavor.
Description: Inspired by the French classic, Morbier, Humboldt Fog contains a line of vegetable ash that runs through the center of the cheese. It is created by Cypress Grove Chevre, a U.S. farm specializing in fine hand-crafted goat cheese. Humboldt Fog has a white, bloomy rind, and is best eaten when the edges get creamy. It is a versatile and mild cheese.
