Sartori Discovery – BellaVitano Balsamic Vinigar
An absorbing Sartori discovery: The sweet, nutty, fruity flavors of our most-sought-after BellaVitano become even more desirable when blessed with a few prized drops of Modena balsamic vinegar. By gently bathing BellaVitano Gold in balsamic, cheesemaker Mike Matucheski has given it a sweet coating that burnishes the legend of BellaVitano with yet another honor from the World Cheese Awards.

the kitchenman has now tried BellaVitano Gold Balsamic and the Merlot washed cheese on several tastings and I must say that it is cracking good cheddar. It melts like a snowflake on your tongue and has a rich yet light mouth appeal. It sure tasted delectable in a spinach salad and on fresh lentil crisps. It pares good with any crisp white or marries well with a pinot noir or sherry.
I loved it with a frothy mug of Pale Ale ploughman lunch style. Available at fine deli’s like Greco’s or online.
