This just in! Our Specialty Cheese Team is at it again, sourcing the finest fromage from near and far. Their latest in our all-star line-up is a singular cheese you’ll only find at Nugget Market—and only while supplies last! The cheese of choice? Willoughby Mighty Dry featuring Golden State Cider.

What is Willoughby? This creamy, crave-worthy cheese is a soft, buttery washed rind selection made by a family-owned company with pasteurized cow’s milk from local Vermont herds. It boasts a complex flavor profile with milky, herbal, and peachy notes, plus aromas of peat, roasted beef, and onion. The thin, tender rind is usually washed in a brine solution, but our Nugget Market exclusive variation is getting a special soak in Golden State Cider Mighty Dry, just for our stores!  

As for the collab, Golden State Cider produces apple-driven dry ciders locally in Sonoma County. Bright, juicy, and crisp, their Mighty Dry hard cider is made with cold-pressed West Coast apples and no added sugar so the apple flavor shines. The unique flavor adds just the right balance to an already beautiful cheese, creating a match made in flavor heaven!

We’re thrilled to partner with Jasper Hill Farm to present this exclusive offering. This artisan cheesemaker has two small creameries and a 7-vault underground cheese aging facility in Vermont, where they use traditional cheesemaking practices to craft the highest quality cheeses. Jasper Hill Farm expresses their Taste of Place by supporting their local Vermont agricultural community, and this special edition Willoughby Mighty Dry also celebrates the Taste of Place of California with its special wash of Golden State Cider, so you can enjoy the best of both worlds.

Remember, this singular cheese is exclusive to our stores and only available while supplies last, so drop by our Specialty Cheese Department to grab it while you can!

Supplies limited. Selection may vary by store.
