On a Tuesday morning in July, I landed at Murray’s Cheese cave in Queens for a guided tour. Stacks of Stocking Hall cheese in Murray’s cheese cave in QueensWhat stuck out was the language around the stuff: a cheese may be bellied or mottled, its taste lactic or barnyard-y. Murray’s Cave Aged Reserve Carpenter’s Wheel cheese is a sweet, nutty, Alpine-style goat’s milk cheese. Careful CalibrationWhat strikes most between the Met’s conservation efforts and Murray’s cheese caves is the calibration of control. Murray’s Cave Aged Treeline Reserve cheese is an award-winning, Alpine-style cheese washed in makgeolli.
