Sartori Co. will donate a portion of the proceeds from its new limited edition Peppermint BellaVitano cheese to the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) in support of breast cancer awareness. This new cheese has been highly sought-after since the company’s sneak preview last February, according to a news release.
A true Sartori original, this artisan cheese is crafted by hand rubbing aged BellaVitano Gold with crushed peppermint candy. The peppermint gives the cheese a light kiss of sweetness and a bright pink hue, creating a unique cheese with a creamy, crumbly texture that starts with a subtle fruity note and ends with a tangy bite.
The National Breast Cancer Foundation was established in 1991 by breast cancer survivor and advocate, Janelle Hail. The mission of NBCF is to save lives through early detection and to provide mammograms for those in need and includes increasing awareness through education, providing diagnostic breast care services for those in need, and providing nurturing support services.
“Our cheesemakers crafted this fun, delicious cheese with the intention of using it to help raise money for breast cancer awareness,” said third generation company leader Jim Sartori. “We couldn’t have found a better partner than the National Breast Cancer Foundation, an outstanding organization dedicated to creating awareness and saving lives through early detection. We are amazed at how many retail partners have come forward to help bring this whole program to life. It’s great to see so many doing so much for a great cause.”
Sartori limited edition Peppermint BellaVitano cheese will be offered to specialty retailers across the United States this October, National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The cheese also will be available again this holiday season as an exclusive member of Sartori’s first ever limited edition gift basket.
