Murray's Cheese - American Cheese Artisans

American cheesemaking has undergone an incredible revolution in just the last decade. Farmers from Georgia to Oregon are making small-batch beauties: There’s Bayley Hazen, a buttery blue from Vermont, a smoky, almost bacon-y Wisconsin cheddar, a creamy washed-rind cheese from Virginia, and a Georgian Camembert-style round for fans of mild cheese. This collection is a great way to support some of America’s best.

Why We Love It

Tony Bourdain and Alice Waters both love Murray's Cheese. Thanks to Murray's famous cheese caves, where an affineur (a procedure specialist) brushes wheels with wines and beers, turns them, and wraps them in various leaves. The result? Some of the best cheese in the country.
