Lamb Chopper
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.
In Holland, Mary discovered a gouda maker who works with sheep milk and
Cypress Grove Lamb Chopper was born. This sheep milk gouda is a smooth,
almost buttery, organic cheese with a light and fruity aroma. One taste will
not satisfy you as the surprising sweetness of this cheese lingers on your
palate. Though it might be mild in intensity, this thoroughly addicting
cheese has great depth of flavor.
