Mozzarella Pioneers
Belfiore, a family-owned producer out of Berkeley CA, is a pioneer of producing fresh, traditional Italian mozzarella in America. Small, but mighty, Belfiore is pleasing palates with delicate, fresh and milky tasting organic mozzarella. We savor the Organic Fior di Latte 8 oz ball, as well as their Organic Fresh Pearls of mozzarella. For an instant hit of fresh, milky flavor, add Belfiore pearls to a pasta dish or salad. Grilling up a pizza? Top it with the Fior di Latte for a mozzarella good time!

The King of Cheese!
Parmigiano Reggiano, referred to as the “King of Cheese,” is an extraordinary cheese with an unmistakable aroma and uniquely delicious taste. Legendarily produced in the middle ages, Parmigiano Reggiano is made utilizing traditional methods in copper vats. Produced from grass and hay fed cows, this cheese is aged for two years before brought to market.
At Nugget Markets we hand crack large wheels of Parmigiano Reggiano that weigh up to 85 pounds! The wheels are so heavy and large that we use the five traditional knives approach to break open the wheel. The initial steps of this process are closer to splitting a piece of wood than cutting a piece of cheese!
