3 Things To Know About BellaVitano

Sartori Cheese is a 4th generation cheesemaker that started when Paolo Sartori emigrated from Italy to the US in 1939. Today, Sartori makes 20+ cheeses but our favorites are always the BellaVitanos. Stemming off the original BellaVitano Gold, there are 10 iterations of flavored BellaVitanos that are rubbed with spices and oils or bathed in wine, beer, and liquor.

Here are 3 other things to know about Sartori’s BellaVitano cheeses:

  • Inspired by traditional, Italian farmstead cheese, BellaVitano begins in the mouth like a premium Parmesan and finishes in award-winning style with hints of melted butter. The Merlot BellaVitano adds berry and plum notes!

  • The name takes its origins from an Italian phrase meaning “the good life,” and the cheese itself is loosely based on a recipe from Northern Italy.

  • BellaVitano cheeses have been winning awards for over a decade at the International Cheese Awards, World Cheese Awards, American Cheese Society, World Dairy Expo, Wisconsin State Fair, and so many more.

Stop in the shop and be sure to sample one of the BellaVitanos in our case. You’ll be very pleasantly surprised!
