Cheese in Glendale and Northridge

I want to pick up some nice cheeses, a prosciutto/cheese log, yummy bread loaves, etc, along with a few bottles of sparkling cider and wine. Stuff to bring with me to people's houses on Thanksgiving.

I live in Glendale and I work in Northridge. Any good places I can go?

    Have you tried Trader Joes? They have some great cheeses and the prices are great, and they also carry artisan breads and a great selection of wines.

      Artisan Chees in Studio City is good. They have an EXCELLENT and unique toasted cheese there as well ......

        Kinda on the high end budget-wise, but there's the Cheese Store of Silver Lake and Say Cheese, both Glendale-adjacent.

        And, of course, there's always Trader Joe's.

          In Northridge, Whole Foods at Rinaldi and Tampa has a large selection of good cheeses. Gelson's on Plummer between Tampa and Corbin also has good cheeses, but not as large of a selection as Whole Foods.

            Every cheese I've gotten at that whole Foods has been old and spoiled. I think the temp in the cooler is off.

              I've never had a cheese problem at the Whole Foods in Glendale...then again, I always ask for a taste of the piece they cut for me. Just be nice, polite, and considerate and any cheese dude will be happy to help you with cheese.

                it's true, many WF will let you taste. A good policy!
