The Good Stuff, Part I | Murray’s Cheese Shop | Rob Kaufelt
August 14th, 2007 by craigmc
His grandfather came to America in 1907 and opened a butcher shop in Perth
Amboy, New Jersey. He practically grew up in the grocery business working
alongside his father and uncle. But most people know Rob Kaufelt as the owner
of the venerable Greenwich Village institution, Murray’s Cheese Shop.
Cheese has grown almost exponentially as one of the foods people like to talk
about, study, evaluate, discover . . . and, oh yeah, eat. And for those who crave
the good stuff Murray’s is universally acknowledged as THE cheese temple.
The contacts he’s made around the world guarantee his shop has the best cheese
available. Murray’s has an affineur (cheese ager) constantly checking the wheels
and rounds in four separate temperature and humidity controlled caves - this
allows the cheese to evolve and develop unique flavor profile and appearance.
