Epoisses touched with brandy. A pyramid of Valençay dusted with ash. Pleasant Ridge Reserve with notes of caramel. Fluffy Triple-Creme. With some cheeses, we don't like to mess around. We know the moment between "ripe" and "overripe" is fleeting. Each premiere cheese is plucked from its cave at peak ripeness and sent straight to your door.

Here's what you get:

  • Select assortment with or without gift crate
  • 1 pyramid of Valençay
  • 1 round of Champlain Valley Triple-Crème
  • .5 lb of Pleasant Ridge Reserve
  • 1 wheel of Murray's Époisses
  • 1 package of Urban Oven Crackers

Cave Aging

Murray’s has operated its own cheese caves since 2004, finishing and maturing world-class selections to their ideal ripeness. Époisses, known to many as the "King of Cheese," is slightly gooey and gorgeously unctuous at its peak. Past peak, it becomes bitter. This package showcases the brilliance of the Murray's fromager: There's a perfect pyramid of Valençay, creamy with goat's milk and sprinkled with edible ash. Uplands Cheese Pleasant Ridge Reserve from Wisconsin, with its hint of butterscotch, is a staff favorite, as is a buttery triple-crème from Champlain Creamery. This package also includes a box of crackers, so you won't have to wait a single extra second to start tucking in.
