The goats at Cypress Grove’s family-run farms enjoy the lush pastures provided by a mild Northern California coastal climate, and each of their cheeses boasts a creamy texture and sublime taste. Purple Haze is a fresh goat cheese in the traditional three-inch round disk shape. It is infused with lavender and fennel pollen, making it a perfect choice for breakfast, dessert, or a light snack.
