This Month's Winners - Saint Killians Cheese Shop.
Owners - Ionah de Freitas and Hugh O'Neill
About the owners
Besides being a shop keeper, I am a yoga teacher. Hugh and I
met eleven years ago when I began working at his first restaurant,
Greens in Denver. The restaurant eventually moved to south Pearl
St. where it's name changed to Hugh's New American Bistro. After
many years in the restaurant business we decided to slow down
so we opened St. Killian's Cheese Shop. We're enjoying our third
year at the shop and loving the extra time we have to do yoga
and explore rivers in our canoe. |
About
the shop of the month.
We love our shop! It's located in the North Highlands
neighborhood in Denver. We have the greatest wine shop in town
next door to us, Mondo Vino, and the best bakery down the road
from us, Denver Bread Company. We usually have 50-60 cheeses
in our cases from the great cheese producing regions of the
world. We love to support local artisan cheese makers and appreciate
that you are so close to us! Hugh loves to bring in hard to
find specialty foods. In our cases, right now, we have Neiman
Ranch guanciale (pork jowels), Spanish chorizo, Spanish mojama
(air dried tuna), Spanish Jamon Serrano, Morcilla (blood sausage)
from Spain, bacalao (salt cod), and many more delicious, not
so easy to find foods. |
