Kunik is a dreamy triple cream cheese made from goats' milk spiked with fresh Jersey cream in the Adirondack Mountains at Nettle Meadow Farm. When young, Kunik has the texture of cold butter, and is light, tangy, and similar to crème-fraîche in flavor. As it ripens, it becomes more supple, loose, and gamey, the goat cheese flavors becoming more assertive. Kunik is delightful at any state of ripeness, and deserves a much-coveted place in your belly. As we like to say here at Saxelby Cheese, it's kind of like gelato with a rind. Each wheel weighs in around 10 oz and is aged 4-6 weeks. Try it with our local wildflower honey for an extra sweet treat!
Pairing Suggestions: Bubbles of any kind… (champagne, prosecco, dry cider) crisp white wines like dry riesling, gewurztraminer, bright reds like pinot noir and zinfandel
Recent Awards: ACS 2025 1st Place, ACS 2024 2nd Place American Originals made from mixed or other milks
