Eat More American Cheese.

craft, not kraft

We believe that eating is more than just eating; it is an activity, a celebration, an experience that brings people together in a very special way. We foster that experience by crafting artful, unique, and thoughtfully curated Grazing Tables, Boards, and Cheese Displays that provide an unforgettable alternative to traditional catering. We are passionate about every table and board we craft and we are proud to center each board and table around 100% american artisan cheese. We are for the true cheese lovers. Whether it be a wedding, birthday, office party, reunion, or just an intimate gathering of friends, our thoughtfully curated offerings will help you create the most beautiful, unique, and memorable moments.

we look forward to gathering with you

Hey there!

I'm Alyssa. ACS Certified Cheese Professional, California Artisan Cheese Guild Board Member, certified cheese lover. Born + raised in the east bay, and never want to leave. I founded Ollie's American Cheese + Provisions in 2019 on a mission to help the world eat more american cheese (craft, not kraft). I opened our brick-and-mortar cheese shop in Downtown Oakland in January 2021, and I am grateful every day to be able to provide our community with a space dedicated to supporting artisan, domestic products + makers that have been throughly vetted and thoughtfully curated.
