TRUFFLE TREMOR
| Truffle Tremor is a soft-ripened, bloomy rind goat cheese from Humboldt County, California, produced by Cypress Grove using pasteurized cultured goat milk and microbial (vegetarian) rennet. Created around 2008 for Cypress Grove's 25th anniversary, it incorporates Italian black truffles, balancing the acidity of goat cheese with earthy truffle flavors through aging. The cheese ages about 10 weeks, developing a creamy rind layer and a firm, cakey core with distinctive texture and flavor evolution. Its milk is locally sourced, promoting sustainability, and pasteurization ensures safety. Pairings include sparkling wines, Pinot Noir, farmhouse ales, and accompaniments like honey and candied orange. | |
