CHRISTMAS 2009 • ISSUE NO. ELEVEN

FOOD IS WORTH CELEBRATING...

Just a reminder that we can make your holidays a little less stressful and a little, well maybe a lot tastier. Allow us to help you with your holiday entertainment needs.


Charelli's Signature Cheese and Antipasto Platters

 

You know them, you love them and they're still the easiest way to thrill the host/ess. (Especially if the host/ess is you!) We just need 24 hours notice, and the day of your soiree you can pick up the ultimate hostess gift - plattered, labeled, wrapped and ready to go!

In an effort to keep costs down, if you happen to still have a platter we would appreciate having them back as soon as possible. Thank you!


Cakes Etc.

 

We work directly with Cakes Etc. You can place your cake order with us at the same time as you place your cheese platter order, and then pick everything up in one stop.

Delivery: Or, we can deliver the cake, the cheese platter and whatever else you need to where ever you need it to be.

 

 


Festive Breads


Breads can be wonderfully simple, but they should never be plain - especially not at Christmas. Our beautiful, festive breads include: B-Red bakery loaves, and Stollen. Italian Panettones, and German Stollen. We also have in banketstaaf from the Netherlands which is a flaky pastry and with a center of amandelspijs (almond paste), is pretty much as traditional as it gets for the Dutch holidays.


Gift Packaging:

Let Charelli's help you with your holiday shopping for your family friends and colleagues. We would be pleased to assist you in creating your personalised, beautifully wrapped

gift-package from our gourmet store inventory.

If you've bought it, we can make it look spectacular, so let us know if you're purchasing anything as a gift. We can also put together and deliver beautiful gift baskets - including wine - and we're more than happy to incorporate items you may have found elsewhere. Order your baskets ahead of time and we can have them ready for you to breeze in and pick up at your convenience.

Gift Certificates: Really - the perfect gift. Who's not going to have fun with Charelli-bucks? Any amount goes. (Actually, it's just a certificate. There are no Charelli-bucks. Yet.


Fondue and Raclette

Allow us to have your Fondue & Raclette cheeses grated or sliced for your evening. You get more time for wine! (And friends...) We can even put the accompaniments and the bread aside for you.


Special Order Items

For when nothing but the best will do. We can supply you with the following specialty items that will make your celebration truly distinctive:

  • Foie Gras & Caviar
  • Hot and Cold Smoked Duck Breast
  • Smoked Eel

Deadlines for Special Order Items

  • New Years December 21st


Import Cheese Order

One of the most exciting things about Christmas at Charelli's is the HUGE imported cheese orders we receive during November and December. It's not that we don't carry these cheese all year long is just the vast quantity we receive and how excited our customers are when we have something that they have a special occasion to share them with someone.


Hospice

Each month Charelli's and our customers support Victoria Hospice by donating 20% of our cheese sales on the 8th and 26th of each month to Victoria Hospice and their programs.

 

This Christmas we have asked Hospice to provide us with two families who are in need of a few special items to make their holiday special.

If you would like to help these families please drop off your donations to Charelli's or let us know if you would like us to pick up the items.
