Pumpkin Spice BellaVitano
A limited-edition original cheese from BellaVitano, this firm cheese blends cheddar’s sharpness with Parmesan’s nuttiness and texture.
Crafted from pasteurized cow’s milk, it’s hand-rubbed with pumpkin and baking spices, with a concentration of flavour in the rind. It has a smooth, creamy texture with savoury spice notes and crunchy crystals from the aging process.
Enjoy it as part of an autumnal charcuterie board or shaved over roasted vegetables and fall salads.
