MURRAY’S RARE FIND 📣: Vorderfultigen Gruyère AOP Spezial
 
An irresistible symphony of Alpine pastures, Swiss tradition, and pure, intoxicating flavor—Vorderfultigen Gruyère AOP Spezial is only at Murray’s for a limited time. A small-batch Gruyère that’s typically hard to find in the United States, it blends notes of beef broth and toasted chestnut with a vanilla sweetness.
 
A longer-aged version of this Gruyère won World Champion Cheese at the 2025 World Cheese Awards, placing first among 5,200 entries from 46 countries. When we tasted this shining example of authentic Gruyère, we knew our community of cheese lovers had to taste it.
 
This cheese officially launches online on 6/4! Head to the link in our bio to join our email list so you don’t miss the drop, or top into our NYC shops to taste this rare find for yourself during our National Cheese Day celebration this Thursday, 6/4, from 3-7pm on Bleecker Street.

Getting ready to grill this weekend? You’re going to need some cheese for those burgers! Here are a few of our mongers’ picks that will meet your meltability standards and bring nuanced flavors to a cookout classic.

From the beautiful rind tinged with blue and grey to the bright, silky interior, it’s easy to see why Mountain Top from is an American favorite.  
 
This pyramid-shaped goat’s milk cheese may share its shape and a bit of coloring with French Valençay, but the rind is developed using traditional blue mold instead of ash. But don’t expect a punch of blue piquancy. This is a delicate, slightly tangy cheese, perfect with a glass of sauvignon blanc.
