    Cheese wiz

    PHOTOS: SHMURA CAMPBELL

    When Sepia needs a buttery burrata, Primehouse wants a perfect double crème blue or Avenues seeks a nine-year aged cheddar, they know where to turn: fromage aficionado Giles Schnierle and his Chicago-based Great American Cheese Collection. Schnierle has provided boutique American cheeses to restaurants all over town for a few years, but now he’s opening up his warehouse a couple of times a month to the general public, offering wholesale prices to boot. This month, he recommends Laflaurie, a double-crème, Jersey cow-milk young cheese from Willow Hill Farm in Vermont. “It’s an absolutely spectacular, creamy, full-flavor, complex little Camembert,” Schnierle says. But if you want a little of that one cheese you had at that one restaurant that one night, he’s got you covered just the same. The next sales are Saturday 1, March 15 and March 22 from 9am–1pm (4727 S Talman Ave, 773-779-5055)
