Bellavitano Merlot

Sartori BellaVitano Merlot – robust red wine and a rich, flavorful cheese – a match made in culinary heaven.

This Wisconsin BellaVitano cheese is soaked in Merlot wine to give the cheese notes of berry and plum. The combination of Wisconsin Cheddar cheese and Parmesan give this BellaVitano cheese a terrific texture, somewhere between creamy and rich and crunchy and granular. This BellaVitano cheese has a slight crunchy feel from calcium crystals (Calcium Lactate), which appear naturally as a part of the aging process. The unique BellaVitano cheese is created by the master cheesemakers at Sartori in Plymouth, Wisconsin, who use time-honored techniques and the highest quality milk.

Taste Notes: Fruity notes of plum and berry mixed with creamy richness make our Merlot BellaVitano® truly one-of-kind. The rind is meant to be eaten and is part of the tasting experience!
