nutty

Take for example brown butter pasta sauce, which touts a richer, nuttier flavor profile compared to sauces made with just melted butter.

It softens into something golden and jammy, almost nutty, with a mellow sweetness that feels borderline decadent.

Black beans bring a deeper, earthier tone; pintos are soft and nutty, more traditional.

It’s nutty and crystalline, aged for years in northern Italy and legally protected from imitation, down to the cows’ diet and the wheels’ signature rind stamp.

That training taught me to appreciate a cheese with some complexity: a little age, a little smoke, a lot of nutty depth, maybe even those intoxicating saline crystals that crunch like sea salt.
