Facts & FAQs
To optimize the quality of Humboldt Fog, keep cheese cold (32°–40°F) and wrapped in waxed paper. Re-wrapping soft-ripened cheese in wax or parchment paper will allow the cheese to breathe as it continues to ripen.
Remove Humboldt Fog from the refrigerator at least one hour before serving.
Humboldt Fog has a microbial (non-animal) rennet type and an optimal shelf life of 98 days uncut for our 3lb and 5 lb wheel and 84 days uncut for our 1 lb wheel.
Because many of our cheeses are produced in large wheels, retailers cut and wrap the cheeses into smaller wedges. You’ll find our soft-ripened cheeses and aged cheeses sold this way, but if you’re searching for a whole wheel, ask your cheesemonger — they can usually order one for you!
