Whether gifting to a loved one or selecting for enjoying at home, the guided tasting offered is a journey that will turn any food lover into a true cheese expert. Murray's unique themed offerings feature hand-cut and wrapped cheeses, from cave-aged picks to exclusive finds, with the goal of delivering a fun unboxing and educational experience. 

The Murray's Cheese Club offers a variety of delicious options in three, six or 12 month increments across the following themed journeys:

A unique feature of Murray's business are cheese caves located in New York City, where experts age cheese and develop new cheeses not found anywhere else. The Murray's Cave Aged cheese line was recently honored with several awards at the 2023 World Cheese Awards. Murray's proprietary Cave Aged cheeses competed on a global stage alongside more than 4,000 entries from around the world, with the cheeses scored on flavor, aroma, body, texture and appearance.

At Murray's shops within Kroger and banner stores around the country, cheesemongers are standing by to help guide customers for gifting and entertaining needs through 150+ types of cheese.
