Fancy Food Show time! In our industry that means that our friends from across the country (and even the world) converge onto NYC to exhibit at the Javitz Center. Besides seeing new products, it gives us a chance to show off makers who normally don't travel this way. This month stop in to enjoy these special visits from Manuel Maia, who imports Portuguese cheeses from small cheesemakers for us, taste our rich, fudgy Tuxford & Tebbutt English Stilton, enjoy Spanish favorites Zamorano and Valdeon and taste cheeses and Speck from Italy’s Alto Adige region!

VALLEY PRODUCE CO.

Enjoy the wonders from down under! Mad scientist style, VPC has managed to take one pound of fruit and reduce it to its essence in just a few ounces. Paired with Murray’s cheeses and extra crispy wafer crackers you'll be saying G'DAY MATE!

TRADIFOODS PORTUGUESE CHEESE
Thursday June 26th 3-7pm
Our friend Manuel Maia has crossed the Atlantic to visit us.  Let this fellow walk you through the lesser known gems that Portuguese cheesemakers create.  There is nothing else quite like them.  Try Nisa, a thistle rennet sheep’s milk cheese!

TUXFORD & TEBBUTT STILTON
Friday June 27th 11am-3pm
Tuxford & Tebbutt’s creamery dates back to 1780, so they’ve had plenty of time to perfect this traditional and unforgettable blue cheese.  A tall, natural rinded wheel is pierced nearly 300 times to bring oxygen in and get the blue veining to flourish.  A few months later it arrives in our caves with a dense fudgey texture and earthy intensity too.  Stop by and taste it with a touch of honey for a sweet note.

MCCLURE’S PICKLES
Friday 27th 3-7pm
Made locally in Brooklyn, and Slow Food supporters, the McClure Brothers make these garlicky pickles with local produce and WOW are they tasty.  Makes you want the excuse that you're pregnant so you can eat to your heart's content.  Meet Bob McClure and listen to his passion for fermentation.

MILA CHEESES
Wednesday July 2nd 4-7pm
From the Alto Adige region of Italy, our friend Kathrin is visiting Murray's to show off Weinkase Lagrein and Stelvio DOP, two new cheeses this month. German? Italian? It doesn’t matter what language you speak, cheese crosses all boundaries!

GRAFTON CHEDDAR
Tuesday July 8th 3:30-7pm
An old fashioned Cheddar maker, in the business since 1892.  We love their lightly aged cheeses made in a cute little puck shape, especially this time of year, since they’re perfect for hot weather travel.

SPROUT CREEK FARM
Wednesday July 9th 3-7pm
Up in Poughkeepsie, New York, there's a farm run by nuns who have created Toussaint; it’s like a farmhouse Cheddar crossed with a heady Tomme de Savoie. Dense, crumbling, with a honey-yellow paste. And the newest creation, Batch 35. Yes, it took 35 tries to get it right. And sooooo right it is. Meaty and pungent, take a break from Taleggio and try an American specialty this month.

SKY TOP FARMS
