About Us:

Murray's Cheese was born in Greenwich Village in 1962, and the heart of our business still resides in New York City with many ways to experience Murray’s locally. At the counter, our cheese experts and mongers serve thousands of neighborhood regulars, commuters, and tourists every year at our two locations—the Bleecker Street flagship retail experience, which also includes our mac & cheese counter, and our shop in Grand Central Market.

For those eager to learn more, we offer robust education and events programming and, for those looking to serve more, we provide catering of expertly crafted cheese boards and freshly made dishes. Oh, did we mention we also age our own cheese? Yeah, we do that too. We have state-of-the-art cheese caves in Long Island City.

Because we like to share, we wanted to bring our exceptional cheese to people outside of New York too. So, we made Murray’s products available online at murrayscheese.com and in-store with a curated selection of specialty cheese in more than a thousand Kroger and Kroger-owned stores nationwide (and, growing every day!). And, through our wholesale business, you might enjoy Murray’s cheese at more than 600 restaurants across the country.
