Formaggio Brand's fresh moz- zarella is well known for its superior taste, flavor and texture. This prod- uct's famous butter cream retention delivers a flavor that is truly artisan. It's won them many awards over the years, but they're always striv- ing for greater excellence. Formaggio Brand is currently in the final stages of a long overdue MULTIVAC packaging revamp. But change itself is not limited to the packaging. Formaggio is now pre-slicing much of its product line. Arguably, the company's most welcomed change is the de- cision to pre-slice and shingle its 14-ounce fresh mozzarella log and to include, in the MULTIVAC pack- age, a packet of imported bal- samic glaze. Add a little fresh basil and sliced tomato and you're at a picnic – no slicing required. Most foodies will agree that an exquisite balsamic glaze is often the accompaniment to so many oft-served fresh mozzarella dishes. Having the convenience of this delicious glaze packet included with de- licious, creamy fresh moz- zarella – pre-sliced and shingled like dominoes – is not only attrac- tive in its new package, but it's a real time-saver, too. The easy-to-serve cheese medallions are a breeze to remove from the easy-peel pack, so if you're lunching in the park, then you don't have to concern yourself with carry- ing the aforemen- tioned cutlery, having the cutting board on hand, etc. Plus, the inclusion of the imported balsamic glaze means you don't have to schlep any extra product along with you. Formaggio Brand has made it easy by taking care of it for you.

BelGioioso Cheese 877.863.2123 www.belgioioso.com BelGioioso Black Truffle Burrata Daydreams of sun-drenched beaches may have inspired this smoky, spicy, garlic and onion rub, but Sartori's sweet and creamy BellaVi- tano ® is an unmis- takable Wisconsin original. This is a delightful cheese that is hand rubbed with a unique blend of chipotle pepper and spices. The flavors work well with the slightly fruity, creamy, tangy notes of the BellaVitano cheese and finish with a mild touch of chile pepper heat. Fla- vors permeate throughout the cheese, but are slight and not overpowering. The rind is meant to be eaten and part of the tasting experience! Intro- duced June 2016. Sartori Company is a family-owned, f o u r t h - g e n e r a t i o n cheese manufacturer established in 1939 and has won more than 330 awards in national and international cheese competitions.
