When it comes to pairing caramel with cheese, there's really no gray area! Bongrain St. Agur blue is made in the mountainous Auvergne region in France, and this double crème cow’s milk cheese is decadent and buttery, with characteristic blue-green veining running throughout.
…and cheesy on the inside? That would be Montchevre’s goat cheese logs in Cranberry/Cinnamon and Blueberry/Vanilla. These delicious fresh goat’s milk cheese logs are rolled in fruit and spices for an easy and spectacular appetizer. The presentation alone is gorgeous; the vibrant fruit is on the outside so that when you slice the log, it’s pure white in the center surrounded by a ring of jewel-like fruit.

Laura Chenel's Buchette and Ash Rind Buchette bring a little tang to your tastebuds. Made in the traditional style of aged goat cheese from southern France, Laura Chenel’s Buchette and Ash Rind Buchette are small logs carefully wrapped in breathable film and snuggled into small wooden cups. Both are wonderful on a cheese board with nuts and fruit, on sandwiches, or as a topping for pizza, steak, or roasted vegetables.
Each Spring, the Beemster cows excitedly rush through the barns doors to graze on fresh untouched pastures. It's only the first milkings from these pastures that are used to make the coveted Beemster Graskaas®.
Humboldt Fog is one of the most easily recognizable artisan goat cheeses in America. With a snowy white interior that is divided horizontally in half by a thin, jagged line of edible vegetable ash, this cheese is as delicious as it is memorable.
Our local specialty cheese feature of the month is Fiscalini Farms out of Modesto, Ca! Using milk from registered Holstein, Jersey and Brown Swiss cows owned by Fiscalini Farms, this family-owned-and-operated sustainable farm was first established in 1912. Known for its unique artisanal and handcrafted San Joaquin Gold, Fiscalini Farms creates its award-winning cheeses with milk piped directly from the milk storage tanks in the dairy farm to the cheese factory on the premises. Fiscalini Farms is going to be sampling a selection of their delectable cheeses at participating Nugget Markets locations throughout the month.
