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-wining taste!

Cheese itself has been a key ingredient in our stores since the start, but it wasn’t until the 1990s that we took it to new heights. Nowadays, our Specialty Cheese Department is a destination, offering hundreds of varieties of artisan cheeses from around the corner and around the world, along with charcuterie, spreads, and other accompaniments perfect for cooking, snacking, and building your own cheeseboard.

Along with fine fromage, our specialty cheese counters also stand out for offering superlative service. Dedicated cheesemongers curate the stunning selection of cheeses at every store, and are excited to share their love and knowledge of this extraordinary dairy with fellow foodies and casual cheese fans alike by answering questions, offering samples, and suggesting perfect pairings. They also build gorgeous cheeseboards you can order in store or online for when you really want to impress your taste buds.

Just remember, specialty cheese isn’t just for special occasions, so drop on by, find your new favorite, and cheese the day!
