Sartori Takes A First Place Award At American Cheese Society Competition

RALEIGH, N.C. — Out of a field of more than 1700 entries at the prestigious American Cheese Society competition held this past Friday, Sartori's Limited Edition Pastorale Blend® was awarded a first place Blue Ribbon.  This follows a strong performance at the World Championship Cheese Contest this past winter.

Pastorale Blend, a Spanish-inspired cheese, is a Sartori Original mixed milk cheese and has won more than 9 notable awards over the past 3 years. "Sartori is extremely honored to be recognized at this time by the American Cheese Society judges," said 3rd generation proprietor Jim Sartori. "Our team members are truly dedicated to making consistent, quality products and take great pride in our heritage of making world class award-winning cheese."

"Sartori's Merlot BellaVitano received a 2nd place ribbon, the second year in a row for Merlot to receive an award from the judges at the ACS. SarVecchio® Parmesan, a 2012 World Championship Best of Class winner, took a third place ribbon along with the newly introduced Limited Edition Extra Aged Goat bringing the total for the competition to four for Sartori."
