The store also includes a grilled cheese bar, charcuterie, fresh pastas and specialty food products, it’s hard to leave empty handed." - Superficial Studio
"Offers a wide selection of fondue-appropriate, Alpine-style cheeses; the shop also makes its own fondue mix." - Monica Burton
"Artisan-made cheeses from one of New York City’s best cheesemongers shipped directly to recipients, with multiple subscription options that include both cheeses and accouterments like jam, crackers, and optional add-ons like imported prosciutto. Options highlighted include the Globetrotter’s Club for a cheese enthusiast who’s always trying new things, or the Cheese Board Club for the person on your list who eats "girl dinner" every single night." - Amy McCarthy
"A New York City shop partnered with the Vermont producer to create Greensward, a cheese similar in spirit to other spruce- or seasonal-wrapped showstoppers and washed in hard cider as it ages. Greensward is presented as another example of a single, seasonal wheel that can steal the show on a holiday table, supporting the article’s thesis that streamlined, high-impact cheeses often make a more memorable centerpiece than elaborate, maximalist grazing spreads." - Bettina Makalintal
"Maybe you want to discuss how different types of caves impact how a cheese ages, or perhaps you just want to know why Swiss cheese has holes. Either way, Murray’s has you covered. Make a reservation for a one-on-one shopping experience at their Greenwich Village location, and a cheesemonger will personally make sure you find what you’re looking for." - hannah albertine, nikko duren
