Kunik cheese
Kunik is a semi-aged, triple cream wheel cheese made from 25% Jersey cow cream and 75% goat's milk. It has an edible, bloomy white rind; a tangy, buttery flavor; and a thick, smooth, creamy texture. The addition of high-milkfat Jersey cow cream makes the cheese more rich and flavorful than a brie cheese, but less pungent than a pure goat cheese.[1] Anne Saxelby, reviewing the cheese for Esquire, stated "it may very well be the sexiest cheese in the U.S.A."[2]

gollark: `__index` and `__newindex` in a metatable allow you to run your own code for property accesses.
gollark: ~~with Skynet support and metatable magic~~
gollark: Unless I make, I don't know, "Cloud Storage" to go with Skynet.
gollark: Trouble is that it has to be loaded and saved so not really unlimited.
