Every fall, cheese lovers call us looking for Vacherin Mont d’Or, but it’s missing from American shelves. Strict regulations on raw milk in the US and the AOP rules that govern true Mont D'or production keep the original out of the U.S. but Petit Vaccarinus is the answer: a spruce bark-wrapped, raw-milk wheel that is nearly identical to its famous cousin, but aged long enough to meet the US standards. Just like the AOP it is only produced from September to May so quantities are very limited.
Under its bark belt, the paste is unctuous and spoonable, with notes of pine forest and sweet butter. Eat it with a spoon, or bake it right in its box and dip bread, potatoes, and cured meats for what might be the most sensational fondue you’ve ever had.
Because it’s seasonal and limited, we bring Petit Vaccarinus into St. Kilian’s Cheese Shop only while the season lasts, and when it’s gone, it’s gone until next fall. order yours now, before it's gone!

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
