Tasting Notes:

BellaVitano Merlot Cheese takes the classic BellaVitano cheese with its rich, creamy texture and flavours reminiscent of premium aged Cheddar and Parmesan, and soaks it in a bath of Merlot.

The marination process gives the cheese a delicious complex flavour, adding hints of berry and plum to the already present nutty, fruity notes.

• 2018 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP CHEESE CONTEST - SECOND PLACE.
