Kunic Mini Button
- Bloomy Rind Triple Cream
- Goat's and Cow's Milk Pasteurized
- Nettle Meadow USA
Kunik is the epitome of creamy decadence—
an award-winning, bloomy-rind triple crème crafted with the perfect balance of
pasteurized goat’s milk and rich cow cream. Made in the foothills of the
Adirondacks, this handcrafted artisan cheese is aged to perfection, developing a
luxuriously buttery, tangy flavor with subtle earthy undertones from our
subterranean cheese cave. A bold, meaty cabernet franc or an earthy stout, accompanied by figs, pears, apricots, chutney, or clover honey.

Nettle Meadow Farm & Artisan Cheese is an award-winning artisan cheesemaker in New York’s Adirondack region, with its creamery and tasting room at the historic Hitching Post in Lake Luzerne and its animal sanctuary nearby in Thurman. Founded in 1990 by Sheila Flanagan and Lorraine Lambiase, it began with a small goat herd and grew into a respected maker of soft cheeses, fromage frais, and aged cheeses.
The farm cares for more than 300 goats, as well as sheep, guard llamas, chickens, and ducks, within a 501(c)(3) sanctuary focused on compassionate, sustainable farming. Their natural diet of hay, grains, wild herbs, raspberry leaf, garlic, and kelp helps shape the quality and character of the milk.
Using premium cow, goat, and sheep milk from its own herd and nearby farms, Nettle Meadow makes cheeses that reflect regional heritage and artisan skill. Its small-scale approach, community values, and commitment to animal welfare create an authentic Adirondack cheese experience.
