• For the entertainer: It's easy to build a custom cheeseboard for the entertainer on your shopping list. With crowd-pleasing cheeses, cured meats, jams, nuts and more, hosts and guests alike will savor this tasty gift. Start with Murray's classics including Brie, English Cheddar and Gouda, or let a cheesemonger guide the selections. Pre-made Murray's cheeseboards in various sizes and varieties are also available.
• For the connoisseur: Murray's famed NYC cheese caves are recognized around the world, and several cheeses recently received honors at the World Cheese Awards. Many unique cave aged cheeses are debuting at select Kroger stores for the first time; try Cave Aged Reserve Mini Greensward, Cave Aged Limited Coffee Break and Cave Aged Original Buttermilk Basque for a one-of-a-kind cheese experience.
• For the sweet tooth: It wouldn't be the holidays without an indulgent treat – and cheese pairs beautifully with sweet and savory flavors. Serve cheese for dessert with ideas from Murray's cheesemongers, such as a nutty Gouda alongside chocolates, caramels and peanuts.  For a playful take, try a brie cheese like Fromage d'Affinois with Murray's Spiced Cherry Preserves. It's a classic combo of luscious, buttery double crème paired with spicy fruit preserves.
• For the family: Murray's offers family-friendly recipes to try this holiday season. Try making Murray's Classic Mac & Cheese with a blend of three cheeses or Murray's Mascarpone Cupcakes for a twist on a traditional cheesecake.
