BellaVitano Raspberry
is a unique Cheddar-Parmesan hybrid created by cheesemaker Mike Matucheski at his Sartori Company in Antigo, Wisconsin. Sweet and nutty BellaVitano Gold cheese is soaked in a handcrafted Raspberry Tart Ale by New Glarus Brewery. The bright notes of ruby-red raspberries combine with hazelnut and brown-butter flavors to make a deliciously complex cheese.
