Snow Bird Cake of Cheese

The Snow Bird Cake of Cheese features four cheeses:

• Bent River is a soft, cow milk cheese made by Alemar Cheese Company in Mankato, Minnesota.  Additionally, this Camembert-style cheese possesses a mushroom flavor, and is smooth and creamy.  Its light yellow paste grows more pungent as it is allowed to age.
• Timber Coulee is a sheep milk cheese made by Hidden Springs Creamery in Westby, Wisconsin.  Made in the style of Basque cheese Ossau Iraty, this cheese is aged 6 months and is nutty with a buttery finish.
• Humboldt Fog is a goat milk cheese made by Cypress Grove in Arcata, California.  It is a soft-ripened creation, with a streak of ash across the middle, like the French cheese Morbier.  In fact, it ripens from the outside.  Also, this Humboldt Fog Remix contains a seasonal herb flavoring – lavender, fennel, dill, etc. – which rotates depending on the time of year.
• Cambozola is a cow milk cheese made by Käserei Champignon in Heising, Germany.  Furthermore, it is often referred to as a “blue brie,” with a rich, triple-creme consistency and blue mold added to give it a burst of flavor.  In fact, this version is the Cambozola Grand Noir (black label) which is often used on high-end cheese boards

This cake is approximately 9 inches wide (at its base) and 13 inches tall.  It contains approximately 192 1-ounce servings of cheese.
