A decades-old shop that became a staple for cheese connoisseurs in Oak Bay and beyond is set to close after 22 “unforgettable years,” according to the owner.
“With full hearts, we prepare to say goodbye,” wrote Carmen Lassooij, owner of Charelli’s Cheese Shop and Delicatessen, in a post on Instagram Saturday.
Charelli’s final day in operation will be May 24, 2025.
Lassooij said the announcement came “with sadness.”
She took to social media to reflect on her time as a cheese shop owner in Oak Bay and to thank customers and staff for their support through the years.
“From the very beginning, you have welcomed us into your lives,” said Lassooij in a message to customers. Many commented they were saddened by the news.
