BellaVitano is a cow's milk cheese made by the Sartori Company of Plymouth, Wisconsin. Introduced in 1999, BellaVitano Gold is a hard cheese with a nutty, fruity flavor and is also available in a number of flavored varieties.
Varieties
- BellaVitano Gold is inspired by a traditional Italian farmstead cheese. Starting out like parmesan, it has a creamy, rich texture with light fruity notes and a sweet and tangy finish. The crunch comes from calcium lactate crystals that form as the cheese ages. Gold was named Grand Champion at the 2013 World Dairy Expo.
- Balsamic BellaVitano contains imported six-year-old Italian balsamic vinegar.
- Black Pepper BellaVitano is hand-coated in premium coarse ground black pepper.
- Merlot BellaVitano is immersed in Merlot wine.
- Raspberry BellaVitano is immersed in a tart raspberry ale.
- Chai BellaVitano is hand-coated with a blend of spices including black tea, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom and cloves.
- Espresso BellaVitano is hand-coated with fresh ground Italian roast espresso beans.
