Cheese (2008– )

[Anchobrie]

I got yesterday a mail parcel from Murray's, a famous NY cheese store. I got like > 10 different cheeses and some salumis (I am planning to make a fondue soon), but the Alp Blossom blew my head away. It has been some time since a cheese surprised me in a great way!

 

I cannot suggest any one enough to put his/her hands on it!!!

It's great that you like what you got - just know that Murray's is owned by Kroger's.  Not that there's anything wrong with that.

 

The independent cheese mongers here might need your support even more...Formaggio Kitchen/Essex. And Saxelby's, founded by the late, great Anne Saxelby.

I believe the Murrays on Bleecker still does its own affinage - even though they've expanded into the space next door with their cafe.

Yes - Kroger's was nice enough to buy it all - lock, stock and caves.

Right... but I guess my point was that the Murray's cheese sold in the NYC stores are probably still aged in-house, but who knows about the product they sell through Krogers or elsewhere in their expansion.
