I like cheese.
So, in recognition of the publication of The Oxford Companion to Cheese, I thought I would create a series of caches that pay homage to the fromage. The Companion only lists 244 of over 1400 known cheese styles but has over 850 total entries about all things cheese, from confocal microscopy to cheesemaker’s lung to Monty Python’s Cheese Shop skit.
Humboldt Fog is a soft-ripened pasteurized goat milk’s cheese that is the result of a dream. Its creator, Cypress Grove Chevre founder Mary Keehn was on a flight back to the United States from France visiting cheesemakers. Keehn says she fell asleep and dreamed about a cheese with a line running through it. With that, Humboldt Fog was born. Alas, not in Saskatchewan.
