What We’re Loving | Sartori Artisan Cheeses

Gone are the days of typical cheese and crackers platters at dinner parties, get-togethers or healthier snacking. These days our palettes are more sophisticated and we may experiment with various flavors, especially as we’re more exposed to various cultures and exotic flavors. You may be thinking “what does this have to do with cheese?”. Believe it or not, we’re seeing more and more fusion of flavors in cheese. Take for example Sartori Cheese, dedicated to making the world’s finest artisan cheese from premium milk supplied by local Wisconsin farmers, they are winning us over with their distinctive variety of tempting flavors.

For those who need their caffeine fix, Sartori has two bold flavors that are sure to please. Tea lovers like me will love the Chai BellaVitano, an exotic pairing of the spiciness of Chai and Sartori’s creamy and sweet BellaVitano cheese. Coffee lovers will jump for joy at the combination of sweet, sugary and creamy BellaVitano, hand-rubbed with freshly roasted espresso that is the Espresso BellaVitano.

For those of you who love a glass of a fine wine or cognac with your cheese will love the marriage of creamy cheese and the berry and plum notes of Merlot that make up the Merlot BellaVitano. If you prefer something stronger, you’ll love the Limited Edition Cognac BellaVitano (not pictured); the sweet, buttery BellaVitano, aged at least 18 months and steeped in Rémy Martin Cognac for 7 to 10 intoxicating days. It’s a unique and complex celebration of smoky, nutty, oaky flavors with toasted notes of vanilla and caramel.

When one thinks of Christmas, cheese doesn’t always come to mind but thanks to Sartori’s Limited Edition Peppermint BellaVitano, you’ll always associate the two. A definite blend to keep in mind for the holidays, Sartori’s sweet BellaVitano is kissed by real peppermint candy for a delicious yet unexpected taste.
