Fall For The Flavors Of The Season

It’s beginning to feel a lot like Fall in Sonoma County! Along with crisp mornings and falling leaves, the flavors of Fall arrive! Warmly spiced treats like pumpkin pies or spiced cider, anyone? Yum! The chilly evenings call for hearty meals, and bring new appeal to roasted vegetables, creamy soups, and slow-cooked stews, each dish rich with earthy, savory flavors. Whether it’s baking pies or simmering stews, it’s the season to embrace the cozy, earthy flavors of Autumn’s bounty.

We are excited about the changing season here at Oliver’s Market, and have all kinds of delicious Fall food and beverage options featured this week, so cozy up on the couch or grab a warm cup of something, and take a look at our menu and recipe inspiration this week!

As the cheese ages, cheese mites gently nibble at the rind allowing for each wheel to aerate, allowing for layers of complexities from the cave to settle into each wheel. As the wheels age deeper flavors develop, leading to a flavor profile bursting with notes of butterscotch and caramel.
