I love cheese so much that Ive written three books on the subject.

And one of my absolute favorite cheeses of all time is Sartori BellaVitano, an award-winning American original cheese.

Its also cheaper than BellaVitano, at $3.29 for a seven-ounce square.

Together the flavors are absolutely irresistible.

If you love cheddar or Parmesan, then youll adore this variety.

Not Your Average Cheddar also makes a Cheddar & Gruyere variety and a Double-Smoked Cheddar, too.

My favorite, though, is the Cheddar & Parmesan.

Its a perfect snacking cheese, and it will instantly upgrade any cheese or charcuterie boards you make.

It also makes a fantasticgrilled cheese.

One of my favoriteomeletsto make is apple and cheddarthe historicLou Mitchells diner in Chicagointroduced me to this flavorful combination.

Then, make your omelet with the cheese inside, and top it with the apples.

Its a stunning brunch dish.
