Just the name of the Great American Cheese Collection is probably all the information you need before you start wondering where to find it. In case you’re still not hooked, here’s a little more: The warehouse is dedicated to small production cheeses from all over the country, with more than 67 producers and over 300 different cheeses in all. Many, the website claims, are among the finest in the world, something that owner Giles Schnierle would love to prove to you. This brings me to the best part—the warehouse is open every Saturday from 9am-1pm for tasting and shopping.

Great American Cheese Collection, 4727 S. Talman Ave. Saturdays, 9am-1pm. (773)779-5055
