Midnight Moon
Situated where the giant redwoods kiss the Pacific Ocean in
the rugged northernmost reaches of Humboldt County, California, Cypress
Grove Creamery gets unique inspiration from the salt-etched voluminous fog
that coolly rolls in nearly every day.
The legendary Humboldt Fog, along with variations on French style goat
cheeses, are made at the Cypress Grove Creamery in downtown Arcata. To
supplement production, cheesemaker Mary Keehn has traveled to Europe to find
cheesemaking partners who can make classic cheeses to her specifications.
The goat milk sister to Lamb Chopper, Midnight Moon is also made in Holland,
following a Dutch gouda recipe. Dense and chewy, Midnight Moon is aged for
at least one year, during which time it develops a lovely brown butter
flavor with intense caramel undertones.
