Belletoile Creamy Slices are natural Semi-Soft Sliced Cheese made from just three ingredients and are certified non- GMO. They are produced by Master Cheese Makers from the Lorraine region of France in the art of soft ripened cheese like Brie. They offer a unique texture with a mild sat- isfying taste and an incredibly creamy mouth feel. Belletoile Creamy Slices are wafer-thin precision-sliced and packed in re-sealable packaging in Germany for continued fresh- ness after opening. They are versatile and perfect for sandwiches, burgers and in warm applications such as pasta or on melts. This product launch is part of Henri Hutin's ongoing activities for reinforcing Belletoile brand in the U.S. and the efforts to meet the wholesale and retail customer de- mands for its high-qual- ity offerings. Henri Hutin will continue to support Belletoile Triple Crème Brie and the Creamy Slices during next year. The Belletoile Creamy Slices are al- ready available to retail- ers and distributors as of 2019. Belletoile, a creation of Henri Hutin, was first produced in 1960 and quickly rose to acclaim in the world community by being the first triple crème brie exported to the United States of America. All of Belletoile cheeses contain the same premium milk from cows in the Lorraine valley, a region in Northeast- ern France known for its agriculture and farmland. Many of the same techniques are used today as they were almost 100 years ago, but with modern equipment. Bel- letoile holds on to that tradi- tion of artisanal craftsmanship in order to bring a flavor that's as sophisticated as its origins.

Fratelli Pinna Celebrates 100 Years For over a century, Fratelli Pinna has been handcrafting sheep and goat milk cheeses on the Mediterranean island of Sardinia, Italy. Founded in 1919 by brothers Giommaria and Francesco Pinna, today Pinna is a fourth- generation family-owned company, and the largest sheep milk producer in all of Italy. Milk from grass-fed sheep and goats is de- livered daily from shepherds all over the is- land. These sheep and goats graze freely in the rolling hills and flatlands, feeding on indige- nous wild grasses and herbs. The aromas are then transferred into the milk, giving it a uniquely complex and herbal flavor. Sheep milk is high in protein, calcium, potassium and Vitamins A, D, E, B and C. Both sheep and goat milk are easier to digest than cow's milk. Traditionally known for its Pecorino Ro- mano, Fratelli Pinna has a wide variety of cheeses, including fresh, aged and DOP sheep cheeses, as well as fresh and aged goat cheeses. Pinna's Medoro (Pecorino Sardo Maturo DOP) has a won- derfully rich and nutty fla- vor with undertones of burnt caramel that im- pressed the judges at the 2018 World Champi- onship Cheese Contest, who awarded Medoro Second Place in its class. Combining tradi- tional cheesemaking methods with highly sophisticated and modern technology, Fratelli Pinna crafts an exceptional line of cheeses. Since 1919, it has been committed to spreading an authentic taste of Sardinia around the world. Fresh product, such as tradi- tional hand-ladled sheep milk Ricotta Fresca, is exported weekly by air from Italy. All Pinna cheeses are available through InterSource, a distrib- utor with warehouses in New Jersey, Wisconsin and California. Inter- Source – great cheese ... better service!
