Come visit us and see our extensive selection of fine cheeses from across Canada and around the world. With over 500 different cheeses in our rotation, you can be sure to experience the very best of what fine cheese has to offer.  We can’t wait to meet you and share our love, passion and expertise with you.  Welcome to Perseval & Young Cheesemongers!

 My love affair with cheese began in the small harbour city of Galway, Ireland where my husband and I married and lived for two wonderful years. When I first walked in the doors of Sheridan’s, the local cheesemongers, I nervously approached the counter, scared to death by the overwhelming selection and my complete and utter lack of knowledge. The cheesemonger was patient with my fear; grabbing a piece of cheese out of the case, he cut off a chunk and sent me on my way. That one massive wedge of real Irish Farmhouse Cheddar was all it took; I was in love.

I love cheese— the story each piece tells, the experience it brings, the surprise of each new flavour. I knew that somehow, I needed to fit this passion into my life and I wanted to share the experience with others. Thirteen years later it is finally happening.

Cheesemaking is a labour of love. Cheesemakers put so much effort and passion into each and every one of their creations that the story from farm-to-table is one that must be told. I feel compelled to be the one to tell it. From this passion, Perseval & Young was founded in 2018. Through it, I look forward to sharing my love of fine cheeses with you.

We are a fine cheese shop located at 1046 Richter St in Kelowna’s brewing district. We carry an extensive selection of fine cheese in our cases, and our mission is to delight your palate and indulge your senses by introducing you to cheeses from across Canada and around the world. Our specially selected, handcrafted, fine cheeses are cut to order —fresh off the wheel— to ensure each wedge of cheese you receive is at it’s freshest and most glorious ripeness.

We take great pride in how we care for our cheese.  We care for each and every piece of cheese in our cases on a daily basis. We rewrap and tend to them and make sure they are all tasting perfect, so that when you come to our store our cheeses reach you in the very best condition. Each wedge of cheese you purchase is wrapped in special 2-ply cheese paper that allows the cheese to breathe but not dry out, creating an almost cave like atmosphere where most cheese happily lives through it’s ripening stages.  We are also very selective about which suppliers and producers we use, so that all of our cheese is of the very highest quality.

With Perseval & Young, you’ll experience mild to wild and everything in between. We will never offer up a processed, artificial, or what we refer to as “plastic cheese.” New selections are offered on a daily basis, so you’ll have something different to enjoy and experience each and every visit. We aim to deliver exceptional customer service and a full, fun, tasty experience when you visit our store, so that you walk away 100% happy with your purchase.
