Kunik Cheese

Kunik (Kunik Button) is a triple cream cheese manufactured by Nettle Meadow Farm in the Southern Adirondack Park in Thurman, New York. Its name means "snowball" in Eskimo. The white, mold-ripened cheese is made from 75% goat's milk and 25% Jersey cow's cream. The cheese is aged for 2 to 6 weeks. Its unique recipe makes it creamier, with a tangy buttery flavor and earthy undernotes. The cheese pairs well with earthy stouts or meaty Cabernet Franc wines. It tastes great with figs, pears, apricot, chutney, or clover honey. This cheese is available in three sizes: one-pound wheels, a 10-ounce button (calledKunik Button) and 3.5-ounce minis.
