calzephyrCambozola - noun.
Years ago I catalogued food pictures and it was very eye-opening. Until you've looked at 100,000 pictures of food, entrees, fruit, dessert and more, you don't really know how many much in the world of food exists, especially the world of cheese!
The cow's milk based Cambozola is actually a portmanteau of two other cheese names--Camembert and Gorgonzola--as well as a combination of the fungi used to produce the mould for each cheese. It appeared on the culinary scene in 1983, so it's a fairly recent cheese in case you were wondering why you hadn't heard of it.
