Beautiful Rind

Loyola had a cheese tasting class that was provided for and taught by the Beautiful Rind and it EXCEEDED all my hopes. The platform used, the teacher, and the cheeses were all incredible. Definitely signing up for more classes and will be back in soon.

The person who took care of us was extremely knowledgeable and their inventory is extremely local, like within Chicago city limits local. Plenty of drinks (alcoholic and NA), meats, jellies and crackers available. We forgot to check out the other counter but I think it maybe was a pickle counter?

Wow. This place is amazing. There simply aren’t enough cheese mongers in this city and Beautiful Rind exceeds my dream cheese experience. The mongers are incredibly knowledgeable and take time to discuss options. The wine that they recommended was a perfect match. Cant wait to visit when eating at the cheese bar is available once more.

My team and I did a virtual intro to cheese class with Randall and had the best time! All of the cheeses that we tried were absolutely delicious, and Randall's ability to share his passion for and knowledge of cheese, while keeping everyone engaged and entertained, is impressive. Happy I found my new favorite cheese shop in Chicago!

Beautiful Rind is the BEST! Randall is the BEST! In light of covid, we wanted to get our friends together digitally. We worked with Randall to plan an awesome cheese tasting class with a group of our friends. Randall made it easy and personal - his knowledge of cheese is INCREDIBLE, and delivers the message with thoughtfulness and fun. Also - the shop is gorgeous and has a wonderful selection of great crackers/wine/beer/etc - and lots of great gifts. Buy lots of cheese from them today!
