What is an Italian Cheese Torta?

Caruso’s signature Italian Cheese Torta is a unique frozen hors d’oeuvres which you simply thaw and serve. It consists of an herbed cream cheese blend layered with our signature nut-free pesto and sun dried tomatoes wrapped in a lightly smoked provolone. The torta is gluten and nut-free. The tortas are hand-crafted using a meticulous five-step process. They are great with crackers or sliced baguettes. They are also delicious when stuffed in a mushroom cap and baked, or as a filling for chicken or pork chops.

They are frozen and can be kept in the freezer for six months well-wrapped. The tortas make a perfect appetizer to keep on hand for any occasion. They can serve 10-15 people or can be cut to serve a smaller group. Each torta has a label with the ingredients and instructions for preparation. Try a delicious Caruso’s Italian Cheese Torta today!
