Raspberry BellaVitano
BellaVitano is a fairly recent creation out of Sartori Foods in Wisconsin. It combines the creamy flavor of a young cheese with the appealing crumbly texture of a premium aged cheese.
There are a number of different flavors. The stuff I had, Raspberry BellaVitano, won Best New Cheese and Best American Cheese at the 2008 World Cheese Awards in Ireland. It is soaked in New Glarus Raspberry Tart Ale to bring out fruity notes. Or so I'm told by this blog post.
I like it very much and plan to have it again soon. I want to try some of the other flavors too.
