Murray's Cheese is one of the most renowned cheese shops in the United States, founded in 1940 in New York City's Greenwich Village. What began as a small Italian dairy shop has evolved into a nationally recognized authority on artisan cheese, offering an expertly curated selection of over 300 cheeses from around the world alongside charcuterie, specialty foods, and gourmet gift collections.
The company operates its own aging caves beneath Bleecker Street in Manhattan, where master affineurs age and develop cheeses to their peak flavor profiles. Murray's also sources directly from small-scale producers across Europe and the United States, building relationships with cheesemakers to offer exclusive and hard-to-find varieties. The online shop ships carefully packed cheese and specialty food items nationwide, with expert recommendations and pairing suggestions for every product.
Murray's Cheese offers educational experiences including cheese classes, tastings, and a professional cheese education program. The company has expanded its retail presence through partnerships with Kroger, operating cheese counters in hundreds of Kroger supermarkets across the country. Murray's is widely regarded as a destination for cheese lovers and has been featured in numerous food publications and television programs.
