The Sartori family have been working with cheese in America for four generations. They have a very close relationship with their local dairies and are very proud of the quality of the milk delivered fresh to their premises in Wisconsin. They work closely with chefs, developing products for the foodservice industry. BellaVitano Merlot starts life as BellaVitano Gold, a cheese inspired by Italian farmstead traditions. It has a dense texture and full flavour. This rich, creamy cheese has been given another dimension from the berry and plum notes of Merlot.

Sartori has evolved from a business that was started in 1939 by Paolo Sartori and Louis Rossini in Wisconsin, USA. After more than 75 years and several name changes it is now in the hands of the fourth generation of the Satori family.
