After Hours is one neat, palm-of-your-hand packet that wraps up delicious flavors from around the world. The Espresso BellaVitano® is a taste of Italy by way of Wisconsin: Creamy, custardy, goodness with a trace of coffee. The cheese is balanced by the tropical paprika-dusted mango, deep layers of cocoa and a satisfying almond crunch. The sweety drop pepper, from Peru, adds a sweet and sour kiss, as it’s all tucked into a yummy envelope of COLUMBUS® Hot Sopressata Salami. With spicy undertones and layers of flavor, it’s a bit like a Mexican mole, minus the hours of prep and cooking!
