Sartori
| Tomato Basil BellaVitano® is a proprietary artisan cheese made by Sartori Company in Wisconsin, USA, blending Parmesan and creamy Cheddar styles. It is crafted from pasteurized cow's milk sourced locally, using microbial rennet for vegetarian certification, and aged 10–12 months. The cheese features a hand-rubbed, edible rind infused with ripe tomatoes and basil, offering a nutty, fruity interior with savory, sweet, and umami notes. Its texture is firm yet creamy, highlighted by crystalline calcium lactate crunch. Celebrated for quality and awards, it pairs well with full-bodied wines, ales, cured meats, nuts, and dried fruits. | |
