Cheese. Deli. Charcuterie.

Sharing a glass of wine, Tina and Kelly decided Paradise Pantry must have a cheese counter ripe with choices.

Come and chat with our mongers to find a cheese that is just right for you and your intended use — cooking, snacking, pairing, wowing!!! Cheeses change, evolve and develop over time. There are so many great reasons for cheese.

The Cheese Counter made room for the pairing of specialty items, including 20-40 types of cured meats, salamis & other wonderful charcuterie — olives, anchovies, locally smoked salmon — all cut and/or sliced to order. Paradise Pantry’s Cheese Counter has grown every year since 2007, becoming the ultimate cheese mecca for downtown Ventura.

And remember, at Paradise Pantry you can taste before you buy. If you are looking for a particular cheese or a taste of something new, come in for a sample!
