Review
"Amazing store with some of the best cheese around."

4worldlovers: Our mission: artisan snacking for all. Entertain, self-indulge, gift, you name it - what you do with your cheese is your business, but allow us to be your gateway to the world of upscale snacking.

Our signature charcuterie and cheese boards make date nights, casual get togethers, and entertaining simple and satisfying every time.

From Nordic skiing to fine dining, the So Damn Gouda story has a little bit of everything. While we’re clearly crazy about cheese (and cured meats, and pickles, and crackers, and wine…) we’re also passionate about curating perfect events and special occasions for our customers. Food is our love language, and we’re spreading the love across the Denver metro area.

Business: Purveyor of specialty cheese, charcuterie and artisan products in Denver Colorado

4worldlovers: Rogue Creamery's cheesemaking roots date back to the 1930s when Tom Vella, founder of the Vella Cheese Factory in Sonoma, California, opened a creamery in Southern Oregon in the middle of the depression. The creamery created a wealth of jobs for the area, and soon came to focus almost exclusively on making blue cheese. In the early 2000s, Tom's son, Ig, sold Rogue Creamery to David Gremmels and Cary Bryant, who continue to uphold the practices and principles of artisan cheesemaking as set out by the Vellas.

4worldlovers: “Whenever someone asks me to define love, I usually think for a minute, then I spin around and pin the guy’s arm behind his back. NOW who’s asking the questions?”

It has happened again: The period of time between Valentine’s Day 2022 and Valentine’s Day 2023 has evaporated and we must now once again consider Valentine’s Day. If it’s food you need to consider, rest easy — we have lobsters, we have crab cakes, we have caviar, we have Niman Ranch beef tenderloin, we have a Cioppino Meal for 2, and we have a whole lot more.

The whole reason we're still here after 20 years is because of you. You have supported us through the "normal" times and through the weirder-than-weird times. You've trudged through blizzards to get breakfast burritos and you've endured sweltering Friday nights in July to join us for Burger Night.


“The theme for us on this anniversary is gratitude: For our customers, vendors, crew, neighbors, and everyone in between: truckers, packagers, farmers and fishermen. We would not be here without them.”

We’d like to know: What have been your favorite products that we've carried? What is the one item (or two? or three?) that you just have to have? Also, please share with us any memories you may have of coming to Marczyk Fine Foods.

Just fill out the very short form below. We'll tally your favorites and publish them in a not-too-far-in-the-future newsletter, along with what the top 20 items we've sold during the past 20 years have been. And we'll share many of your memories and comments.

I give you permission to quote me in your newsletter and/or on your website and/or in other promotional materials.

Our reusable bags would be a good deal at $1.99, but we’re selling them for 99 cents — you can’t get anything for 99 cents anymore, except maybe 99 pennies. Each bag is made from Dyneema carbon hybrid composites with handles made of pure spider web silk.* So use our reusable bags and pay for that trip to Mallorca with the bag fee dimes you’ll be saving.

*no, that’s not what they’re made from, but they are spectacularly strong, handy, and stone-cold foxy.

If you take all the lovely things about spring — more light in the evenings, flowers blooming, trees budding out, warmer temperatures — and convert them into an amalgam of flavors, it would taste like key lime pie. Our key lime pies, which we make from scratch, are engineered to maximize the symbiosis of tart and sweet. According to the SKLPD (the Society of Key Lime Pie Devourers — very prestigious) and everyone who has had one of our key lime pies (even more prestigious), it's THE perfect dessert for spring. Always available in the refrigerated cases by our delis.


The slashes on rustic loaves aren’t just about aesthetics, although they do look really cool, as if the loaves were forged somewhere in Middle Earth and brought to the surface by a caravan of the most loving creatures ever to inhabit the inhabitable. Slashes create weak spots in a loaf’s surface, allowing the interior to expand fully in the desired direction. Without the slashes you get the Comedic Bread Hour, during which the loaf will expand outward wherever it finds a random weak spot, resulting in a loaf that is as oddly shaped as something from the Build-a-Contorted-Protuberance Workshop.

We slash each baguette we make by hand (that is one of our baguettes above — a very pretty one). That comes to like 80 billion thousand slashes per day, give or take. It's a lot. And our baguettes are incomparable.


You may think of a neighborhood market as one that is located in the heart of a vibrant neighborhood, one that has just the right ingredients and has many, many local products and fastidiously carries the freshest produce and has an onsite butcher who can custom-cut the finest Niman Ranch meats. And this market may also bake its own breads, make its own from-scratch ice creams (even the base!), soups, chicken pot pies, chili con carne, lasagnas, so many things, and this market may have people who will remember your name, will greet you, will make you laugh. Marczyk Fine Foods would be that market. Two locations: Uptown and Park Hill.
