Actually it IS our altitude. We are at approx 1200 feet above sea level, so when there is rain down in town there is snow up here. Just the other day Cobble Hill was covered in a light fog and gorgeous leaves.
Then the colder air moved in and boom! It looked like something in mud season (spring here in Vermont) when there is light snow and the roads are soft and warm and easily damaged by vehicle wheels or even cow's hooves........
But wait! Vermont Snow Fleurie? This is not a misspelling of 'flurry' it's the name of one of our delicate cow's milk cheeses, La Fleurie. This means 'bloom' in French and is in itself a play on words as it is a cheese of the 'bloomy rind' style, like Brie or Camembert. What's new? It has been chosen by Williams-Sonoma for an American Farmstead selection for the holidays. It is a unique cheese as it begins like a rich Chaource with its inherent cheesecake-like texture (a very good thing) and then ripens more silky thru the middle into a buttery creamy decadent event! La Fleurie can be consumed at all stages of its maturation which makes it widely appealing to all at a party or holiday meal. With two out of the four cheeses in this collection from Vermont, this is a fantastic gift for the holidays. Click here to order Williams-Sonoma
