Purple Haze
Mary Keehn got started on the
goat cheese trail in the 1970s when she decided to raise Alpine goats as a
source of healthful milk for her children. Not too long after, Mary started
receiving awards for her herd and became recognized as an expert in the field.
Blessed with an excess of milk from fifty goats, Mary started making cheese in
1983.
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.
Purple Haze
is Cypress Grove's lush and fluffy chevre, sprinkled with tender purple buds of
lavender and fennel pollen. The lavender and fennel pollen add an ethereal
quality to the already rich goat cheese; floral and piquant, Purple Haze tastes
like spring air after a long rain.
