Description: Inspired by traditional Italian farmstead cheese, BellaVitano Gold is the basis of all other BellaVitano varieties. This rich, creamy cow's cheese has won many awards, among which gold medal at the 2008 World Cheese Awards and silver at the 2014 World Cheese Awards. Starting out like a premium Parmesan with its nutty, fruity flavor, this gourmet cheese finishes off grandly with hints of melted butter. A Sartori-family original, BellaVitano Gold tastes delicious with dried nuts, dried pineapple, pears and crusty artisan bread. Try pairing the cheese with wines such as Chianti, Light Italian Red and Port. You can also pair India pale ale, sweet cider or dark malty ale with the cheese for a great combination.
