CINCINNATI — The Kroger Co. (NYSE: KR), shared that Murray’s Cheese launched its new monthly club subscription program, bringing a best-in-class cheese experience to homes around the country, all year long. New York based, Murray’s offers five monthly subscription clubs with one-of-a-kind access to discover exceptional cheeses and pairings. 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:
- The Cheers to Cheese Club, a guided tasting with cheeses and accompaniments that pair perfectly with a drink of choice;
- The Cheese Explorer’s Club, offering bold picks & exclusives guided by a Murray’s cheesemonger;

- The Mac and Cheese Club, delivering heat-and-eat decadent mac and cheese in rotating seasonal flavors.
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. Honors include Cave Aged Reserve Hudson Flower (Super Gold); Cave Aged Limited Double Doe (Gold); Cave Aged Reserve Greensward (Silver), Cave Aged Original Stockinghall Cheddar (Silver), Cave Aged Reserve Annelies (Bronze) and Cave Aged Reserve Carpenter’s Wheel (Bronze).
