I ADORE the Beautiful Rind. It is truly the jack of all trades of a business, operating not only as…read morea restaurant, but also a store for all your charcuterie needs and a space offering a diverse array of educational, fun, and unique classes. The staff there is truly into their craft and provide the best time for all their services. I finally got to try their sandwiches after years of coming for their charcuteries and various classes (all of which you truly cannot go wrong with), and they were to die for. We split their classic grilled cheese and the TBB and they were both nothing short of phenomenal. The grilled cheese comes with tomato soup which was delicious, and you're able to choose a side for all their sandwich options (we chose arugula salad, which was perfectly lemony). My one and only suggestion would be to offer a toasted option for the TBB sandwich, but it was also truly great as is - I would definitely get both again! Also a random rec but they carry a pretty hard to find red sparkling wine that is AMAZING - Cleto Chiarli Lambrusco Amaible, must try!

Come for the meat and cheese counter, stay for the nook in the back of the store where all of the…read moregorgeous 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.

Are the dairy farms from which you get your milk humane certified? Are the cows treated with hormones? I think this information would be valuable to the consumer; my choice to consume your product is entirely dependent upon the level of the welfare of the animals from which you get your milk, and I think this information should appear on your website. Thank you for your time.

The company itself makes pretty decent cheese. This particular review is on their Brie...eh echm,…read morelets begin...I am really trying to like Brie, maybe because of the hype or maybe because I love me some cheese. I was excited to get a wedge and let it get to room temp while I cut all manner of fruit to have my first taste of Brie. In Culinary School we ate many different cheeses and rated them...a full spectrum of cheeses was at our munching pleasure....except Brie...? odd. But now I believe I know why it was not there. First it smells like a storage shed made of concrete with too much moisture. I tried it alone and it has a creamy texture that was nice but the shed smell is now in my mouth. Kiwi, Star fruit, Honeydew, strawberries, green grapes all unimpressive. So still trying to like Brie I chopped the ole faithful yellow apple which made it palatable, but then the apple usually does...I mean throw shredded cheddar on warm apple pie and go to heaven. I digress, Brie is not the cheese for me and I would not recommend it to anyone else, don't waste your money. Besides the shed taste and smell it is full of disappointment...and I can eat the ass end of cheese. Crumble some Gorgonzola on a homemade pizza and I'll be over but you serve Brie and I'll take the rain check.

Cheese, marvelous cheese!…read more Are you that person with at least five varieties of cheese in your fridge, just in case? Well, I can straight up de-mystify the Stamper Cheese agenda. They are cheese pushers. Like so many artisanal fromage purveyors, their wares suck you in, and you just crave more. Must have fresh mozzarella cheese balls, that is my personal mantra. Twice a week, at either the Federal/Daley/ or Willis Tower Farmers Market, I shuffle up to their booth to score my fix, satiating the gnawing jones of a cheese fiend. The days in between, I try to make it last, stretch it out. Mostly, the fresh mozzarella balls will do. Occasionally, I might venture into a goat cheese gouda, apricot brie, or a nettle infused variety. You know what nettles are? Yeah. They STING you. And apparently, they're good for you too. Only Stamper Cheese would have the cojones to use stinging nettles in their cheese. Get some. It's good. It's a hard cheese variety, and quite tasty. No store front, but they have a Printer's Row Cheese Drop Off. Check their website, Facebook, or better yet, email them for details, since the outdoor Farmers Market season is now over. The winter is that much bleaker without you, Stamper Cheese.

The cheese is good but I wish that they would label the cheeses at the farmers market. I asked what…read morethey were and was given a vague description of these are cheddars, these are goudas, etc. Just look on their website and ask if they have whatever specific flavors that you want. I like the dill garlic curds, string cheese, and dill jack. The mozzarella is just ok.

The drinks absolutely held their own too. The Summer Spritz was crisp and refreshing, while the sangria came in with a polite smile and then quietly reminded me to respect it because wow, it was strong and delicious. Beyond the food and drinks, the whole place has this warm, beautiful French market vibe that feels cozy, elevated, and welcoming all at once. Great atmosphere, amazing flavors, and the kind of spot that makes you start planning your next visit before you've even paid the bill. Highly recommend.

They also sell everything else you might need to create a charcuterie board, like wine, jams, chocolate, bread, and crackers. I still need to try one of their sandwiches.
