Espresso BellaVitano is the ultimate "wake-up call" for your cheese board. This is Sartori’s signature award-winning cheese—a creamy, nutty cross between a premium Cheddar and a sophisticated Parmesan—that has been hand-rubbed with freshly roasted espresso beans. The result is a savory, buttery paste with a smoky, coffee-infused rind that tastes like a gourmet breakfast in every bite. It is the best "dessert-style" cheese for a host who wants to skip the cake and go straight to the platter. It is unexpected, sophisticated, and always the first cheese to disappear at a party. The Recipes Recipe #1: The "Morning Glory" Burger Melt thick slices of Espresso BellaVitano over a beef patty topped with a fried egg and maple-glazed bacon. The coffee notes in the cheese create a high-end brunch burger that friends will rave about. Recipe #2: Espresso Cheese & Fig Jam Stuffed Chicken Stuff chicken breasts with this cheese and a dollop of fig jam. As it bakes, the espresso and fruit flavors meld into a rich, restaurant-quality family dinner. The Appetizers Appetizer #1: The "Perfect Pairing" Bites Serve wedges of Espresso BellaVitano alongside dark chocolate squares and dried cherries. It’s a sophisticated, 3-ingredient dessert appetizer that feels incredibly luxurious. Appetizer #2: Espresso Cheese & Apricot Toasts Place a slice of the cheese on a fruit-and-nut cracker with a dab of apricot preserves. The bright fruit and smoky coffee create a complex, addictive party snack.
