Our cheeses are fabulous. The truth is in the taste. You don’t have to know much about curds and rinds to visit. We can supply samples to help you along. Everything is cut to order, so you can choose how much or how little you want.
We concentrate on the cheeses of France, Spain and Italy. We also include a selection of Dutch Goudas and Swiss cheeses (not all with holes), and always find room for a funky cheddar or two from the UK or Ireland. We stock some local fare and have offerings from around the country. We are raw milk enthusiasts! We love the proud and pretty pyramids of ashed goat’s milk cheese, and the sultry sleepy sheep’s milk cheeses from the Basques lands which smell like wet wool in winter, as well as all the little oozy French things. Did I mention the Blues and their moody wandering veins?
We have a small, but well chosen community of cured meats, including La Quercia’s Speck from distant Iowa, Fra’Mani Salumi from Northern California, and Jamon Serrano from Spain. Speaking of Spain, we have some unique aged sherry vinegars and wonderfully nutty arbequina olive oils. But, wait till you see our superb array of tinned Spanish seafood lovingly packed in extra virgin olive oil. Come.

Ionah DeFreitas and Hugh O’Neill opened St. Kilian’s in 2001 and spent 10 great years serving the Denver Highland’s.
In November 2011 Hugh and Ionah passed on St. Kilian’s to Jon Marsh and Veronica Martinez. I (Jon) always loved their little shop at 32nd and Lowell and after 9 years as a loyal customer I convinced them to let me take it on with the help of Veronica. We’ve always had a passion for food and while working in retail for more then 25 years between us, we dreamed of making our passion for food and wine our career. Now we get to enjoy sharing that passion with the Denver community.
Everybody stresses the importance of a good location, so we thought we’d tell you where we are. We are on the north-west corner of 32nd and Lowell Boulevard.
Well… we’re not exactly on the corner, that would be where Mondo Vino, Dewey’s wonderful wine shop is located. Speaking of wine, if you’d like to bring in a bottle or two, we would be delighted to make suggestions for cheese and wine pairings.
A mere two block stroll down the street is The Denver Bread Company; they deliver us our daily fresh bread. The loaves are long and thin, sometimes crusty, sometimes soft, a bit like Greg the baker himself.
If you look closely at our founder, St Kilian, a huge cheese lover himself — you will notice that as he poses for his picture, he clutches within his person all three elements of the holy trinity of food — cheese, bread and wine. We think he’d like our neighborhood
