Pairing

Beyond the countless pairings of Noci Bella with wine & cheeses, I like to remind people that a slice of Noci Bella is the perfect way to finish a meal with a little coffee, tea, or dry sherry. I also have friends who like to take it hiking and backpacking. Walnuts are known for their satiety effect.

Original Noci Bella can be sliced and toasted. This will cause caramelization and after the slice has cooled you can experience a crisp Noci slice, which is nothing short of sensational. Place a .25″ thick slice in an oven or toaster oven at around 300 degrees for 12 minutes. Totally Worth the effort!

Alternatively, you can eat the slice before it has cooled with a little ice cream or other frozen desert on it.

If you’re a fan of frozen confections like I am, you’ll find our chocolate dipped Noci Bella unsurpassed in the crunch it delivers. I suggest slicing the chocolate dipped bar into 1“ chunks after freezing in a freezer bag. You will not find a more sensational confectionary experience than when you crunch down on one of those guys.

Walnuts and honey have been paired for centuries. We use California walnuts and with the purest honey we can find to make our terrazzo. It slices well and is often placed on cheese boards.

Our first distributor was and continues to be Cowgirl Creamery. Noci Bella has always paired well with their Mt. Tam and Redhawk. Noci Bella is delicious with many cheeses. 

Although I’m not a wine drinker myself we sell to a number of wineries and we’ve participated in wine shows. All I can tell you is that people love it and some wineries feature our product solely as a pairing item for their wines. I know the chocolate dipped is preferred with the red wines and the pinots in particular.
