Cheese Review: Sartori BellaVitano
The Sartori website pretty much sums up this cheese: “BellaVitano combines the rich and creamy flavor of a young Cheddar cheese with the savory, crystalline crunch of a premium aged Parmesan.”
The part they don’t mention is the fact that this cheese is addictive like crack cocaine. Well, not really, but it is really, really delicious and fun to eat because of the aforementioned crystalline crunch.
Sartori Foods are located in East Central Wisconsin; their SarVecchio Parmesan ain’t half bad either.

Definitely addictive. I ordered a half pound of Gjetost and the worker gave me a sample of Sartori BellaVitano and said it’s a popular cheese. It goes perfect with the Gjetost. I love the crunch to it too! I bought mine from a small restaurant named Sun Singer in Champaign, IL.

You’re right! It IS addictive. I’m not really much of a cheese-eater,
but this cheese is the best we’ve ever eaten. Unfortunately, it is hard
to find Sartori Bellavitano around here. We first bought it at Costco,
then could not find it anywhere. Please get it out here near Grosse Pointe!
