At Nugget Markets, we proudly offer hundreds of varieties of artisan cheeses from around the world and around the corner. Fresh or aged, hard or soft, we have everything you need for your perfect cheese board including vegetarian cheeses, an assortment of charcuterie, spreads and other accompaniments. We also offer artisan cheese boards made fresh to order by our trained cheese specialists (including Certified Cheese Professionals), who are also happy to answer questions, offer samples and suggest perfect pairings.
Did you know that cheese is one of the best available sources of calcium and protein, as well as phosphorus? And that it is also full of vital nutrients and minerals? That and it tastes great too! Basically, cheese is a whole load of goodness packed into one scrumptious bite!
When preparing a cheese board, always start with a cheese friendly surface like wood, tile or marble. Don’t forget to buy enough cheese for the occasion, usually 1–1½ ounces per person per cheese. Cheeses are best served in odd numbers (arranged according to flavor) with a common theme, like country of origin or type. Always use separate knives for each cheese, and remember to serve them at room temperature for best flavor.
From appetizers to entrées, breakfast to dessert, we offer all sorts of delicious chef–prepared foods made fresh in our kitchens with the highest quality ingredients.
Premium produce isn’t the only thing you’ll find coming out of our great state—our stores offer more than 15,000 gourmet groceries, and more than a third of those are locally sourced! While we can’t fit 5,000 shout-outs in one little article, here are a few fellow California companies from across our departments to get your shopping cart wheels a turnin’.
From sharp aged cheddar to ooey, gooey brie, sheep’s milk mizithra, and so much more, cheese is a great example of how simple ingredients like milk, salt, enzymes, and culture can develop into unique and complex flavors. In fact, it’s not unlike how Nugget Market came to be. Just combine people, passion, food, and culture, stir things up for 100 years or so, and you get a truly one-of-a-kind company with award-winning taste!
