Love is in the air! At Murray’s we get a lot of requests for cheese that will help make the night extra special, and we always know just what to recommend. Here are our staff picks for the sexiest cheese around – Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone!
Robin: A ripe Époisses is beautiful, and its silky texture just makes you go “Mmmm….”
James: Monte Enebro is luscious, thick, and velvety in texture. Plus it has the best rind in the world. Peppery and saucy, like any good woman should be.
Carlos: Podda Classico is sharp and has great curves.
Cielo: Humboldt Fog. It’s made by ladies and it’s SO GOOD.
Elizabeth: Brebisrousse d’Argental is bursting out of its bold red rind. Oozy, mild and unexpected.
Andrew: Winnimere! Because it’s creamy, oozy, and complex.
Deena: Zimbro is nice and plump, plus it’s wrapped in cloth so you get to undress it.
Beth: Burrata is the oyster in cheese form, except it tastes like gorgeous mild milky goodness instead of the sea.











Murray Greenberg (never met him; he died before I got here) was a Jewish Spanish civil war veteran and communist who opened a wholesale butter and egg shop a few doors up Cornelia street in 1940. The old timers tell me that even though he was an old leftie, he was still a street smart capitalist who used to buy cheese cheap and trim it and sell it.
