The charcuterie board was full and amazing. The roast beef and blue cheese and turkey with apple and brie sandwiches were delicious. Worth the price with excellent customer service! read more

Come for the meat and cheese counter, stay for the nook in the back of the store where all of the gorgeous bottles of wine live. Actually, in my case, I came for the wine nook. I read that this is a good place to find a great bottle of wine, and it's true. Old World Market will satisfy the indulgent, bougie food lover in you -- the food lover who likes pretty charcuterie boards made from thinly sliced prosciutto shaped into flowers. And it will indulge the wine lover in you -- the one who likes a good glass of wine. It's a small store. Surprisingly small, actually! But along with wine and meats and cheeses, you'll find specialty food items like Swedish Pippi Longstocking candy (what?), pasta in all shapes and sizes, cookies, teas, oils and lots of imported goodies. You'll mostly find food imported from Europe: Italy and Nordic countries, specifically. They offer readymade sandwiches and small charcuterie boxes to go, for those of us who want to live deliciously but also have stuff to do elsewhere. Basically, this is a great place to visit to find something delectable to eat or drink in Valparaiso. read more

Great selection of meats and cheeses! Gem of a find. Will definitely be going back soon

Such a great place! Absolute heartbeat of the city! Everyone in there is super kind and their food is amazing. Highly recommend!

Old World Market catered my daughter's baby shower and everything was delicious! They made everything so easy!

We could be more satisfied with our experience at the Old World Market! The staff is very informative and the food is amazing! Our Charcuterie box was the biggest hit at the party!! read more

Old World Market - a box of fruit and cheese - Specialty Food Near Me - Valparaiso, Indiana

I have wanted to go in here for YEARS and somehow never have managed to until recently. They have everything imaginable in here that you could pair with wine, so if you're looking for some unique gifts for friends or family, this is the place to stop in at. They also sell adorable cat shaped bottles of wine for each holiday, and now need to become a holiday staple at my parents house. I'm going to be stopping in again soon for some cheese. read more

This place makes great chartrucherie boards and are fair in price with the selections they include. Many good cheeses, breads, butters, meats and Italian fare. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I recommend this place! read more

Unique store and so glad we have it here in Valpo. But now on its 3 or 4th set of owners it seems to be more concerned about their wine club and charcuterie board sales than walk in traffic. Not to mention this set of owners seems a little proud of what it all is ... read more

Beautifully done charcuterie trays ,wonderful wine selection and Patty is a sweetheart and great costumer care. Great cheese selection and the cutest market that takes you on a trip to Europe. Go check it out read more

WOW! Such amazing goods in this small charcuterie box that I served at a training I hosted! The cutest little shop too! read more

Old World Market - Small charcuterie box! - Specialty Food Near Me - Valparaiso, Indiana

Such an adorable shop! Very nice staff. Every time I walk by with my dog, they give her a special treat from the deli. I love this place.

I love this place, it rocks!! It's great to have a place like this out here because it's like what downtown Chicago has all over. They have nice selections of cheeses, meats and wines and there's always something new to try out. It's located on the square too, so it's a great way to spend the afternoon walking around and then stopping in here. read more

HA! I visited Valparaiso with the idea that it had nothing good to offer... Well was I wrong! Valpo has the Old World Market & Delicatessen so take that! Step in to a 'French market' with checkered floor and white tin ceiling to find sweets, baking and spice items, sauces and condiments, pasta and sauces, oils and vinegars and beer/ale [and wine] that make up their large variety of products. Plus they're a delicatessen so they have great cheeses and meats. I'm becoming a wine-o so I went straight to the back of the store to the wine selection. My good friend Yelper Nicole V. would be happy because they have her favorite white wine Gazela Vinho Verde. It's part of their shelf of $15 and under wines. I had to buy myself the Black Cat German Riesling which comes in an adorable wine bottle that is, you got it, a black cat. There are great options for those who go Gluten free. The organic falafel chips are one tasty recommendation. The store gets shipment in of fresh breads from Boudin that arrive half baked and are finished off in store's oven. Nothing but doughy goodness! If you live in the area, join their e-mailing list to find out about monthly wine tastings and events. read more

LOVE this place!! It's like stepping into a shop in Europe with an EXCELLENT selection of cheeses, very knowledgeable staff. Got a pain au chocolat from France and it is EXCELLENT! Will definitely be back! read more

Great owners and love the charcuterie boards. Have ordered many different sizes for multiple events. Everything from a picnic with the family to tailgates at high school football games. Make sure to pick up extra loaves of baked bread. Really good wine club as well. read more

If you enjoy browsing among unusual foodstuffs in jars and cans, you will surely get a kick out of perusing the shelves in this place. But if you're serious about cheeses and/or charcuterie, go straight to the glass cases, where you will find all manner of delicious meats and cheesy comestibles. The owner knows his stuff; he is a cheese lover himself, so he truly enjoys talking about and recommending cheese and charcuterie pairings or (if you prefer) standalone cheeses to enjoy with a bottle of wine and a crusty loaf of good French bread (which you can also buy here). Highly recommended. read more

Unbelievable!!! The most gorgeous Charcuterie board I've ever seen. Wonderful people to work with! read more

This place is a beacon in the darkness. Cheese, wine, fresh bread, beer. What more could a sane person ask for? The owner is frequently behind the counter; staff is always helpful and knowledgeable; makes me feel like home. read more

Thank you to the fantastic staff! You are always willing to assist and take to time to explain your wide variety of delicious offerings! read more

A wonderful little place. I'd describe is as a small deli and market that carries many gourmet ingredients that aren't available in the local grocery stores. Some of their pre-made items such as sandwiches and antipasto salads are very good and reasonably priced. If you are looking for something specific and hard to find or just a quick lunch item this would be a reat place to look. Also i'd really suggest trying their pretzel bread, it's great and even better when used for a sandwich. read more

You can't go wrong here! The cheese, the wine, the meats, the bread, the lovely cold items in the cold area ALL DELICIOUS! If you have a friend who is a foodie, or you are looking to put together a lovely meat and cheese platter, you can't go wrong here. They will make suggestions for cheeses that will go well together. To be sure that it is a cheese that you will personally like, you will even get to taste it before purchasing. My mom planned her best friend's wedding and Old World did some of the catering with tastey foods. They helped with wine and champagne selections and couldn't have been nicer and more helpful. This is a lovely place to go whether it is a special occasion or just any old day! read more

Nice place. Great grape leaves and friendly service. Not sure how a deli rates five stars but you folks have some passion.

John and Dee are wonderful. I wish I could afford to go here everyday to buy everything in the store. They offered to buy my favorite pasta sauce, but when they found it cheaper somewhere else, they told me to go there instead. They always have samples that have introduced me to some wonderful new cheeses and meats. Their wine recommendations have always been spot on. I have yet to be disappointed with this store. read more

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this before, we go here at least once a month. The selection of European and American cheese and wine is really choice, as well as all the other fun things from olive oil to gluten free crackers. And the staff is a joy to talk to. read more

Old World Market provided the BEST customer service I have received in a LONG time! A friend of mine, who lives in Valpo, is going through a tough time dealing with her mother who is ill. I wanted to send her a charcuterie board to help with meals and to brighten her spirits. I live out of state, so when I asked for suggestions for the best charcuterie board in Valpo, the results were OVERWHELMINGLY Old World Market. Even though they don't deliver, I had heard they were "the nicest humans alive," so I asked. Without any hesitation, the owner offered to deliver the board to my friend FREE OF CHARGE! She was SO responsive and SO wonderful, and my friend raved about the charcuterie board, and it totally brightened her spirit. I will remember her kindness forever....and HIGHLY recommend Old World Market! read more

I love this place!!! The employees are sooooooo amazing kind, helpful and kind. BEST PLACE EVER

This is where I tried chocolate covered gummy bears for the first time. I can never repay them for that.

Fabulous business full of great people who are always willing to help. I had some of the most amazing cheese I've ever had from there. It was goat cheese marbled with honey! SOOOO good ad the wine he recommended paired perfectly with it! What a gem in Valparaiso. read more

This little shop has a nice variety of gourmet items and cheeses and is just so darned cute. Now, the prices are a bit high as I remember it, but if you need good wine, cheese, or oil and happen to be here in Valpo they will have it. The deli is also very good. They are very friendly and know food very well so if you are trying to make something just ask. If they don't have it, they will brainstorm a solution. Another nice shop in this very cute town square. read more

This place is a treasure. Chris is a true part of the community and challenges me to try new things as he gives advice on craft beer and cheese. My only issue is the hours. They are often not open when I'm in the mood to blow some foody cash. An extra hour on Friday and Saturday would do the trick. read more

Nice little place. A very good selection of cheeses and some nice deli meats. Also, olive oil, vinegars, wine, and beer. Other comestible foodie accessories, too. read more
