Shushan Snow

The other day I had a few girlfriends over for some local cheeses that I picked up from Murray's Cheese and the Greenmarket. I was going to only have five cheeses, but then I got to the 3 Corner Field Farm booth at Union Square's Saturday market. Emma had told me about their smoked cheese, which was a must in the cheese plate. Then the woman convinced me to try the Shushan Snow. That was the beginning of the end. I fell head over heels, crazy in love with this creamy dreamy cheese. It has the form and consistency similar to a brie, but the flavor is so light and creamy that it would never be confused with anything but itself. I could not have possibly returned home without the Shushan Snow, so the cheese tasting became six instead of the perfect number of five. I served all of the cheeses with a quince compote and Conchord grapes. This is just a preview of the whole event; I will be putting up more information about the tasting tomorrow!
