Merlot Bellavitano Wedges Cheese 5.3 OZ

The Sartori Merlot Bellavitano Cheese in a 5.3 oz wedge is a gourmet cheese known for its unique flavor profile. This artisan cheese is made from cow's milk and has been aged to achieve a firm and crumbly texture, reminiscent of both Parmesan and Gouda. After aging, the cheese is bathed in Merlot wine, imparting sweet berry and plum notes that enhance its creamy richness.

The cheese features a smooth and creamy taste, along with the occasional calcium lactate crystals that provide a delightful texture. Its rind, which is also bathed in Merlot, is edible and adds to the tasting experience.

Merlot Bellavitano pairs well with a variety of accompaniments. It’s excellent on charcuterie boards alongside nuts, crusty bread, and fresh or dried fruits. For beverage pairings, it complements full-bodied red wines like Pinot Noir and Shiraz, as well as complex beers like dark ales.

This cheese is produced by Sartori, a fourth-generation family-owned company known for its premium artisan cheeses. If you're interested in trying it, you can find it packaged in 5.3 oz wedges, making it perfect for gourmet meals or cheese platters
