For anyone just starting their cheese-eating journey in life, take note, these cheeses are truly best in class. Italy's most famous Gorgonzola is made from sweet morning milk and is a crowd pleaser; Vermont chevre is lemony and mild, a wonderful introduction to soft goat cheeses; the French double-creme Brie is unctuously creamy; and this nutty Gruyere is bound to win over even the most rabid cheese-skeptic. Spanish fig jam and crunchy olive-oil crackers will help seal the deal. Enjoy!

Here's what you get:

  • Select assortment with or without gift crate
  • .5 lb of French Double-Crème Brie
  • .5 lb of Murray's Cave-Aged Gruyère
  • .5 lb of Gorgonzola Cremificato
  • 4 oz of Vermont Butter & Cheese Chèvre
  • 1 package Urban Oven Crackers
  • 1 jar of Fig Jam

Easy Does It

From sashimi to sea urchins, fussy eaters need a gentle introduction to a good thing. Murray’s has carefully selected its most elegantly accessible cheeses: Gorgonzola cremificato, preferred by most Italians, has more creamy texture than the dull dolce served stateside (expect little pockets of blue rather than giant, intimidating streaks of it). Vermont chèvre is a sweet, mild classic, and pairs prettily with cherries and peaches. French double-crème Brie with a 60-percent butterfat content, will be a pleasant surprise, and Murray’s Select Reserve Gruyère is perfect with virtually any French red wine.
