Pallet for your Palate

This past weekend we were thrilled to participate in the first Farm to Fork Festival in Sacramento. Part of our display included some very fun pallet gardens filled with edible herbs, flowers and peppers. They were a huge hit, so we want to share how to create this beautiful, decorative and delicious wall of edible art. Follow our simple tutorial to give a pallet a second life, creating a palette of colors for your palate.

Farm to Fork Fabulousness!

The Sacramento region is the nation’s Farm to Fork Capitol, and we had an amazing experience interacting and serving our visitors at last week’s Farm to Fork Festival in downtown Sacramento! As a major sponsor of Farm to Fork Week, Nugget Markets partnered with the Sacramento Visitors Bureau and local businesses, farmers, local producers and non-profits in celebration of everything our area has to offer.

Fest with the Best!

This year during Oktoberfest, let me recommend some excellent Oktoberfest-style brews, available in our adult beverage department. They generally come in one of two styles: a reddish-brown amber-style Marzen with caramel overtones; or a golden style with a sweetish, malty nose, a medium body and low to moderate bitterness. Interestingly, the largest producer of an Oktoberfest beer is none other than the Boston beer company Samuel Adams, and I would say it holds its own against its German counterparts. If you want to sample a brew straight from Munich, I recommend the Hacker-Pschorr, made in the amber style, or the Hofbrau, a golden-style brew.

Stop by our coffee bar to experience our Salted Caramel Mocha, a delicious blend of fresh espresso, Ghirardelli mocha sauce, Monin salted caramel syrup and sweet steamed milk, topped with whipped cream. And if you’re really into caramel, try a salted caramel latte — the caramel flavor is pretty strong in this yummy drink! Sweet, salty and totally delicious.

taleggio cheese

Taleggio Cheese

When I start buying Taleggio, I know that fall has arrived. My palate, tired of the bright tastes of summer, is ready for the earthy, pungent, rich flavors and aromas found in this classic Italian cheese. Made with cow’s milk, this cheese takes its name from the region in Italy where it is traditionally made, Val Taleggio. With its distinctive square shape, yellowish-pink rind and gooey interior, this cheese may look homey, but it delivers a lovely buttery and earthy flavor. The texture ranges from semi-firm and supple when young to increasingly soft and gooey as it ages. Try this cheese on its own or, if you’re feeling adventurous, add some to your next grilled cheese for a gourmet twist.
