Our cases hold over 240 artisanal cheeses throughout the year. We offer handcrafted, farm made cheeses produced locally and across the world. We are particularly well supplied with cheeses from the tradition rich province of Quebec, our homeland of Italy, France - a country with over 400 cheeses - Spain, the domain of the sheep of La Mancha, & Great Britain the motherland of farmstead cheddar.
We source out specific cheeses, produced in small batches from the purest milk. Our goal is to get these family made cheeses to you at the peak of ripeness and in the best possible condition. This is done from careful monitoring of each cheese, proper storage & presentation, cutting-to-order & packaging in specially designed French cheese paper. Taste the difference between mass produced cheeses & the cheese we offer that tell the story of lush pasture, healthy animals & family tradition. To support these fine cheeses, Ottavio offers a wide selection of crackers, crispbreads & cheese accompaniments.
Ottavio is proud to offer one of the best selections of cheeses across Canada to retail customers as well as wholesale customers including Victoria's finest small restaurants & fine caterers.
