My Favorite Cheese Brand Released 2 New Products—and I’m Stocking Up

Not to sound dramatic, but I could eat cheese for every meal, every day, for the rest of eternity. Because of that, my deli drawer in my fridge is always stocked to the gills with blocks of cheese for charcuterie boards, slices of cheese for sandwiches, shredded cheese for recipes, and, of course, snacking cheese for when I want some grab-and-go Cheddar.

Within those product categories, I also have my favorite brands for each. Kerrygold’s Cheese Snacks are one of my favorites, Tillamook’s shredded cheese is the perfect melting consistency, and Sartori’s BellaVitano soaked cheese will always make an appearance at my get-togethers.

While Sartori’s merlot- and chardonnay-soaked cheeses are some of my favorites, they’re not the only products the award-winning, Wisconsin-based cheesemakers sell. Sartori offers a robust lineup of Cheddar, Parmesan, and Asiago cheese that customers love—including our staff. 

Editor Andrea Lobas says her kids call Sartori’s SarVecchio Parmesan "winner cheese" because it’s their favorite out of all the cheeses on the market.

Now, after success selling blocks and shredded cheeses, Sartori is offering its fan-loved cheese in a new way—and I couldn’t be more excited. Sartori is releasing snack-sized Cheese Bites.

Sartori Cheese Launches New Cheese Bites

The new Cheese Bites will be available in two varieties, including Sartori’s popular MontAmoré Cheddar and Italian Herb Cheddar.

The snacking rounds are 4.5-ounce cheese wheels that took Sartori multiple years to perfect. Now, you’ll be able to buy the Cheese Bites in six-count packs at select grocery retailers nationwide. 

Sartori’s MontAmoré Cheddar Cheese Bites are a creamy white Cheddar with hints of that crunchy, aged "winner" Parmesan that the Lobas family loves. It’s a sweet, yet savory cheese that you’ll have to try to understand what makes it one of Sartori’s best-selling offerings. 

Its Italian Herb Cheddar Cheese Bites are perfect for bold snackers as the buttery, sharp Cheddar is loaded with savory Italian herbs.

The cheesemakers at Sartori say this cheese is perfect for individual snacking on its own, but is also delicious paired with crackers, fruits, and nuts, or used as a salad topper. Personally, I say "yes, yes, and yes" to those suggestions, but I’ll likely find myself eating the wheels straight out of the fridge.

With this multi-year project finally hitting shelves, Sartori promises more innovation is coming from the brand with more than eight decades of history in cheesemaking. And if it’s as delicious as what we’ve seen from the cheesemakers thus far, I can’t wait to learn what’s next.
