Murray's Cavemaster Reserve Hollander
Murray's first European Cavemaster Reserve in almost 10 years, this sheepy stunner comes to us "green" from the Pyrenees, and spends two months growing a beautiful mold-mottled rind in our caves. The toothsome paste is redolent of sweet cashews, with a firmly acidic backbone, a perfect pair with a lively Jurancon.

The hands that wash the cheese may change, but the title remains the same - Cavemaster. Since the inception of the caves beneath Bleecker Street at Murray's, we've had an expert aboard whose sole purpose is to tend to the hundreds of cheeses lurking below the store. And every now and again, they'll create an entirely new cheese; either by washing, aging or coating, the result always impresses.
