Goat’s milk is combined with Jersey cow’s cream in this savory round of rich triple-crème cheese. Up in the Adirondacks, Nettle Meadow’s goats feast on a diverse array of grasses and wild herbs, producing high-quality, flavorful milk. Fresh cream from nearby Jersey cows is added to the goat’s milk to amp up the butterfat content. The result is Kunik, a decadently rich cheese with notes of lemon zest and button mushrooms. Slice it like fudge, and pair it with some McClure's Garlic Dill Pickles and a sparkling, fruity rosé.

Nettle Meadow Cheesemaker Sheila Flanagan creates this triple crème from a mix of goat’s milk and Jersey cow’s cream.
Flanagan’s goats spend their days snacking on fresh grasses and wild herbs found throughout the farm. * The resulting goat’s milk is complex and perfect for cheesemaking.
Kunik’s soft paste is decadent, buttery, and mushroomy—reminiscent of a savory cheesecake with just a hint of lemon zest.

Founded in 1990 by Lorraine Lambiase and Shelia Flanagan, New York’s Nettle Meadow farm is also an animal sanctuary that houses a menagerie of llamas, horses, donkeys, chickens, ducks, pigs, turkeys, cats, and rabbits.
Lorraine and Sheila both left legal careers to move closer to home and realize their dream of living on a farm, surrounded by animals.
Cheesemaker Sheila Flanagan transforms the farm's fresh goat and sheep milk to craft innovative, artisan cheeses.
Sheep and goats are fed a diet of natural ingredients, including grasses, hay, grains, wild herbs, raspberry leaf, and garlic to balance their nutritional needs.
A herd of working goats roams over 100 acres at a separate pasture close to Amsterdam, New York.
The animals are at the heart of the operation, their website features the pictures and names of many of their goats along with a description of their personalities.
