Farm Fresh Eggs are In!

We have farm fresh eggs in from our friends at High Plains Poultry! Many small producers and farmers depend on local schools and restaurants to sell their goods to. Since we have the luxury of being open, we are trying to help as many producers as we can by getting their goods to you all. Besides, it sounds like the big box stores are out of eggs anyway. Come get some so that we can order more from High Plains!

An Update for Our Community

To our St. Kilian’s Community:

Like you, we have spent the last few days trying to figure out how to adjust to changes in our community due to the evolving COVID-19 situation. So, we decided to share with you, all of our friends, family and customers, what we are doing here at St. Kilian’s.

While we have a business to run that deeply impacts us as owners, and our small team of employees, we also have a unique challenge and opportunity in our local community. We want to do everything we can to have a positive impact on everyone involved, and that includes considering the well-being of those we serve.

With that in mind, we are open for business, and would like to share the steps we are taking to be able to continue to serve you and keep safety at the forefront of all our business practices:

We're monitoring developments of the situation, including guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and local health authorities, ready to update plans as needed to ensure we uphold our standard of safety for our community.
Our team of employees (all 6 of us) have committed to staying home from work if any symptoms form and we are committed to paying them in the event they need to miss work.
Out of an abundance of caution, we are suspending in-store sampling for customers until further notice. While we always have cleaning practices and food handling procedures in place for safety, the restriction of our customers interaction with open food products will help improve the safety of our shop for everyone. We know this is a big part of the experience at St. Kilian’s and we hope to be able to return to sampling as soon as possible.
We have increased our regular cleaning and implemented an additional sanitizing step for all surfaces in the store. We are also minimizing contact between customers and employees with our payment systems.
We are always happy to pull an order for you in advance to lessen your time in public spaces. We also offer local delivery via our website and orders can be placed by contacting us directly denvercheeseshop@gmail.com or 303-885-1090.

Thanks, in advance, for your support through this difficult time, we appreciate being a part of such a great food community.

Please feel free to reach out to us directly if you have any questions or suggestions for us, we send you best wishes and good health.

With Gratitude, Jon & Veronica

We're so Fond of Fondue

The perfect way to cap off a winter day is around a cozy pot of fondue. Use our tried and true fondue recipe for success. The classic swiss fondue recipe calls for Gruyere, Emmenthaler and Appenzeller, but here at St. Kilian's we prefer to substitute French Comte for Emmenthaler as it adds a depth of flavor that you just don't find in most Emmenthalers available in the US. Check out our fondue recipe and stop in for all the ingredients. (Hint: Don't forget the mustard!)

We also offer online shopping, shipping and local delivery to make your life easier. You can order a complete fondue cheese kit here.

Shop the Good Food Awards

The Good Food Awards just took place at the end of January and once again celebrated over 2,000 producers from across the country who have created delicious and sustainable edible works of art. We love this organization and have been collaborating with them for the past 2 years to help support the great work they do and the wonderful producers that take part in the organization. This year we did some recruiting to get local producers more involved so we're extra proud to see the number of finalists from Colorado, and we are excited to carry a few of the nominees and winners in our shop. Coming from near or far, here are a few of the tasty and authentic Good Food participants we have on hand:

Bee Squared's Whiskey Barrel Aged Honey: Made in Colorado, it's perfect in cocktails or drizzle over waffles.
On Tap Kitchen Pretzels: Handmade with local sunflower oil and organic flour, they're perfect with Colorado craft beer.
Casella's Prosciutto: This prosciutto is made with heritage-breed pork and following all of the Italian traditions, but crafted here in the USA.
Old Time Roustabout India Pale Alegar: Roustabout is a tasty India Pale Ale vinegar made from Odell Brewing's first rendition of the India Pale Ale. Use it as a marinade, dressing or sauce.
Il Porcellino Salumi: Made in Basalt, this is one of our go-to salami makers to add to a sandwich or cheese board.
Cultura Chocolate 70% Whiskey and Nibs: Dark chocolate infused with Deerhammer's single malt whiskey and garnished with whiskey-soaked cacao nibs.

Raclette: The Perfect Winter Meal

Cozy Up with Raclette
Raclette, it's both the name of the cheese and the dish. Popular in Switzerland and France, the milk comes from Alpine-grazing cows and it turns into the perfect melting cheese. Traditionally, the cheese is melted and scraped onto potatoes, bread, vegetables, cornichons and charcuterie. It makes for a cozy meal or a fun centerpiece to a gathering with friends. Find the cheese in our shop or online here.

Want to rent a raclette grill? Give us a call!

If you'd rather to skip the grill and keep it simple, you can make mini raclette sandwiches. Grab a Babette's baguette from the shop, split it in half, lengthwise, and top with Casella's heritage breed prosciutto and slices of raclette cheese. Broil the open-faced sandwiches in the oven for a few minutes, until the cheese is melted. Dig in!

Whichever way you choose to serve raclette, we recommend pairing it with a white wine or your favorite beer.
