Green Bay, Wis. – Handmade with passion and hand selected with experience, BelGioioso Master Cheesemakers present their newest cheese, Artigiano® which means “Artisan” in Italian.
“In the endless pursuit of perfection, Gianni Toffolon, our first Master Cheesemaker is always crafting new combinations of flavors and textures in an attempt to create the next great cheese,” states Gaetano Auricchio, Executive Vice President of BelGioioso Cheese.
Artigiano® is crafted using home grown cultures that have been developed over decades to achieve a flavor palette all its own. “This cheese is pleasantly nutty and sweet with a delicate crystalline, yet creamy texture,” says Gianni Toffolon, BelGioioso Master Cheesemaker. “Artigiano® is produced in small batches and cured using proprietary, artisanal methods.”
Artigiano® cheeses are available in three varieties:
- Classico – nutty, sweet and crystalline yet creamy
- Aged Balsamic and Cipolline – rubbed with aged balsamic vinegar from Modena, Italy and cipolline onions from Calabria, Italy
- Vino Rosso – wheels are soaked in a custom blend of red wines that are sourced from a boutique vineyard that is owned by a friend of BelGioioso’s Founder
Each is a new addition and only available as part of the company’s premium La Bottega di BelGioioso cheeseboard collection that includes hand-wrapped 4-ounce cuts and whole wheels for expert cutting and wrapping by in-store cheese mongers.
Created on a foundation of over 130 years of family cheesemaking tradition, La Bottega di BelGioioso cheeses are made with the finest quality, fresh local milk and pure, simple ingredients. Each savory wedge is our gift from the Master Cheesemakers at BelGioioso.
