I love cheese, all types, hard, soft, sharp and nutty.  So when a sample box of Sartori cheeses showed up on my doorstep, I was in cheese heaven hk idc.

I immediately opened the cheeses because I was excited  sample them all and they were all amazing and unique in their own way. The 3 cheeses that struck my taste buds the most were the rosemary & olive oil asiago, bellavitano gold and the sarvecchio parmesan. All rich and nutty along with the added rosemary made me think that the combination of these 3 cheeses would be outstanding in polenta Standees.  

A big bowl of creamy polenta is so comforting and the addition of these nutty and creamy cheeses were the perfect finish, giving a hint of rosemary. But I wasn't finished there, I wanted to make the polenta into a complete meal, so I made my own Italian turkey sausage with toasted fennel seed and sage and this served as a great meaty topping. To finish the dish, I topped it with more cheese, baked  until it was melted and bubbly, then topped with freshly chopped basil, the dish was complete yellow coffee mug.
