About Us
We are passionate about community and good food, and bringing the two together. We only use the highest quality ingredients sourced from small-batch local or domestic makers we love, and the shelves of our cheese shop are filled with only the best goods from real people who really care about what they do.
Our Grazing Tables + Cheese Tastings are created to be as sustainable as possible. Our tables are thoughtfully designed with sustainability in mind - everything is 100% compostable.
We believe in events that are both thoughtfully curated and environmentally responsible. All of our ingredients are intentionally sourced and used to their full potential; reducing food waste and supporting our local food economy is at the forefront of what we do.
"The spread was beautiful and got rave reviews! She came on time for setup and everything was ready in time for our guests to show up. Super easy to work with and would definitely hire Ollie's again!"

"Thank you so much for all that you did to make our picnic so special. It was just what I was hoping for. We all thought everything was fabulous. Certainly, we will never forget it."

Meet the Owner
I'm Alyssa. ACS Certified Cheese Professional, California Artisan Cheese Guild Board Member, certified cheese lover. Born + raised in the east bay. 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.
We foster celebrations by crafting beautiful, seasonal, thoughtfully curated Grazing Tables and Cheese Boards that provide an unforgettable alternative to traditional catering.
