About Us
Located in Chicago and a Tenant of The Plant, The Great American Cheese Collection represents more than 45 family and co-op producers, and is the single largest source for America’s artisan cheeses.
It’s our mission to bring together excellent quality, delicious tasting, small production cheeses from around the USA. Through this single source, our aim is to make these products more available to chefs in restaurants, food service, wineries, and breweries, and to the public via small retail stores like wine shops, butcher shops, and provision shops.
