In a medium bowl, mix goat cheese, orange zest and salt with a fork. Using your hands, form the cheese mixture into a ball. Set aside.
On a large plate mix and spread out chopped cranberries and rosemary.
Gently roll the cheese ball into the chopped cranberry and rosemary mixture, pressing fruit and herbs lightly into the ball to form an even layer around the outside.
Place on a platter with crackers or baguette slices. Serve immediately.
Cheese ball can be made a few days in advance. Wrap in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator. Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before serving.
