Cheese Caves Celebrate 20th Anniversary Year
NEW YORK, July 22, 2024/PRNewswire/ -- Murray's Cheese announced today that seven cheeses from their Cave Aged line have been named winners at the annual American Cheese Society (ACS) conference. Every year, the ACS competition showcases the talent and craft of American cheesemakers, judging each cheese through a technical and aesthetic evaluation.
This is the twentieth anniversary year of Murray's state-of-the-art cheese caves in New York City, where they age and ripen cheeses made by cheesemakers around the world. In recent years, the retailer introduced its own line of Murray's Cave Aged cheeses, with more than a dozen one-of-a-kind cheeses developed by Murray's in collaboration with local creameries or cheesemakers using their proprietary aging techniques and often a Murray's original recipe. These projects represent years of development, research, tasting and testing, and the cheeses are available only at Murray's.
"We are beyond thrilled to celebrate our biggest year yet at the American Cheese Society," says Nick Tranchina, president of Murray's Cheese. "I am extraordinarily proud of the creativity and innovation of our affinage team, and I want to give a big thank you to our cheese maker partners for their excellence and support."
Murray's has celebrations planned at their Greenwich Village flagship store this fall highlighting the cave aged cheeses, including the debut of select cave aged cheeses at their cheese counters in Kroger stores. The list of award-winning cheeses this year is as follows:
In addition to these many awards, Murray's is the only online retailer that sells Beecher's Handmade Flagship Reserve, chosen as 3rd place Best in Show by the ACS.
