Pear, pecan, chocolate and caramel in Bold & Bleu make for a luscious play of sweet, creamy and salty notes. Our peppery Calabrese Salami triggers a subtle heat that pairs beautifully with the creaminess of the bleu cheese. It’s a big flavor experience, filled with potent tastes and textures, all brought into satisfying harmony by the expert hand of our charcuterie director, Evan Inada. Bold & Bleu: it’s our wake-up call for taste buds everywhere.
