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®.

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.
Cheddar has approximately 7 grams of protein per ounce (about 15% of the Daily Value). For a delicious way to get your protein try our newest cheddar, the Deer Creek Seven Year Proprietor’s Grand Reserve Cheddar.
The Laura Chenel Cabecou is a delightful disc of soft, barely aged goat’s cheese marinated in California extra–virgin olive oil, rosemary, thyme and black peppercorns. This award–winning California original is densely creamy and is an excellent cheese to keep on hand as it can elevate any dish. Delicious served with bread, over roasted veggies or with fresh tomatoes, use it as a base for many meals.
