Welcome to the Bacio blog, where you’ll find the latest news, recipes and information about our premium pizza cheese. Bacio is the only traditional pizza cheese made with a Kiss of Buffalo Milk™ for delicious authenticity and unparalleled performance. Designed for discriminating pizzerias that demand the highest quality ingredients, our exceptional cheese will be available in limited markets beginning Jan. 15, 2011—with nationwide availability scheduled soon after.

New to Bacio? Here are the facts:

• Bacio means “kiss” in Italian. True to its namesake, our delicious cheese is made with a Kiss of Buffalo Milk—which enhances the flavor and performance of Bacio.
• Bacio is crafted by our cheese makers to bring perfection to pizzas. Its flavor, melt, stretch and reheatability are exceptional.
• Bacio is similar to traditional mozzarella. The only reason we can’t call it that is because of our unique combination of cow and buffalo milk that makes Bacio so special.
• Loyal pizzerias that exclusively use Bacio will be invited to join the Bacio Gold Club. Gold Club members receive a variety of exciting benefits, including business-building email coupon campaigns sponsored by Bacio.

Bacio is exclusively distributed by PERFORMANCE Food Group—ROMA Food, a leading supplier to independent pizzerias. The cheese is currently available in 6-lb. Part Skim and Whole Milk blocks, but will debut in shredded varieties later this year—for pizzerias preferring the ease of pre-shredded cheese.
