Big Kunik - 16oz wheel

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 between 1lb and 1.2lb and is aged 4-6 weeks. Pairing notes: Bubbles of any kind… (champagne, prosecco, dry cider) crisp white wines like dry riesling, gewurztraminer, bright reds like pinot noir and zinfandel

Try Kunik with our local wildflower honey or Quince and Apple's fig and black tea jam for an extra sweet treat.

Kunik is a star

Love the big Kunik! I do think there’s a difference between the mini and the large one. I served the big Kunik for a holiday gathering and paired individual wedges in a small dish with tablespoon of the ginger-pear conserve and candied violets… Wonderful!

So yummy

We added it to a large party buffet and it got so soft and yummy, was perfectly paired with green olives and toast bites 👌🏽
