Varieties
  • BellaVitano Gold is inspired by a traditional Italian farmstead cheese. Starting out like parmesan, it has a creamy, rich texture with light fruity notes and a sweet and tangy finish. The crunch comes from calcium lactate crystals that form as the cheese ages. Gold was named Grand Champion at the 2013 World Dairy Expo.[3][4]
  • Balsamic BellaVitano contains imported six-year-old Italian balsamic vinegar.[5]
  • Black Pepper BellaVitano is hand-coated in premium coarse ground black pepper.[6]
  • Merlot BellaVitano is immersed in Merlot wine.[7]
  • Raspberry BellaVitano is immersed in a tart raspberry ale.[8]
  • Chai BellaVitano is hand-coated with a blend of spices including black tea, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom and cloves.[9]
  • Espresso BellaVitano is hand-coated with fresh ground Italian roast espresso beans.[10]
