SARTORI RESERVE Bellavitano Citrus Ginger, 5.3 Ounce

Since 1939 the Sartori family has, in conjunction with local dairy farmers,been making cheese in Wisconsin. BELLAVITANO is one of their products since 1999.The original type is a hard cheese with a nutty, fruity flavor.Other varieties of BELLAVITANO include Balsamic, Merlot, Black Pepper, Chai, Raspberry and Espresso.The wine types are immersed, the others hand-coated..CITRUS GINGER BELLAVITANO is a limited edition cheese that's only made occasionally.Its list of ingredients includes dehydrated onion and garlic, orange peel, sugar, sea salt,red bell pepper, citric acid, sesame oil, orange oil and oleoresin paprika.The piece I'm sampling is oily to the touch. Firm in texture like a well-aged provolone,for me the predominant flavor is the first listed onion. Citrus is also evident.I cannot say this isn't delicious, only that the added ginger is well sublimated.It's easy to see why BELLAVITANO has won international awards. It's instantly addictive..A one oz. serving has 120 calories (90 from fat, including zero trans), 30 mg of cholesterol,165 mg sodium, zero carbs, fiber, sugars, 7 g of protein. Vitamins A.
