On March 5, 2026, at the World Championship Cheese Contest® in Madison, Wisconsin, Royaal Grand Cru was chosen out of 3,375 entries across 148 classes as the best cheese in the world with a score of 98.68 out of 100 points.
We've always been fan's of aged gouda and the Grand Cru hits a great balance of the rich creamy younger Gouda's with enough age to ad complexity and the signature tyrosin crunch, it migh tjust be the perfect Gouda!
"This Beemster cheese is fit for a king… literally. This special selection cheese was developed by our master cheesemakers to honor our Appointment as a Purveyor to the Royal Court of the Netherlands - a distinction awarded only to companies that are 100 years old or older, are regionally representative and significant, and held in high regard by the citizens of Holland. Royaal Grand Cru is rich, nutty and regal and has a firm texture with some crystallization" Beemster

St. Kilian's is small family owned specialty market in Denver, Colorado. The owners Jon and Veronica have spent the last 14+ years seeking about the very best foods from around the work and around the corner. Our store is filled with our favorite foods with a special emphasis on cheese, charcuterie and Italian Imports.
We're excited to offer a large assortment from our retail store for online ordering. Please keep in mind that we are primarily a retail store and while we do our best to accurately represent all of our products online, nothing can replace the service of our expert cheesemongers in person. We encourage you to contact us directly if you cannot find what you're looking for or have any questions about our product offerings. Here's a couple of things to keep in mind when ordering online
SHIPPING (BASED ON ACTUAL CARRIER RATES)
We offer nationwide shipping on the majority of our in-store products, we primarily utilize UPS for most services and you can see our prices and options at checkout.
Since many of our products are perishable we package orders in temperature controlled boxes to minimize the amount of time products are out of ideal temperatures, many require expedited shipping services, and we cannot ship certain highly perishable items like raw meats and meal kits, to ensure product quality. If you place an order for perishable items later in the week we may hold your order until Monday to ensure you shipment doesn't sit over a long weekend in a truck or warehouse.
We are located at just north of 32nd avenue on Lowell Blvd in the Denver Highlands neighborhood, just west of Downtown Denver
