Holiday Sampler

Murray’s Holiday Sampler: Get a taste of traditional holiday flavor with this savory cheese sampler. Featuring six cheeses that range from classic and mild to bold and bright, it’s the perfect amount of cheese for an appetizer platter or as a gift for the foodie in your life. We’ve combined crowd pleasers like Cheddar, Camembert, and Gouda with some more adventurous selections like flower-coated Alp Blossom, citrusy Montealva, and a peppery California blue.

Pairing Essentials: Craft dynamic duos like a Murray’s expert with this spread that’s designed to inspire creative cheese combinations. We’ve assembled some crisp crackers and shortbread with a trio of traditional fruit jams, silky French ham, and a selection of three best-selling cheeses that range from decadent and velvety to sweet and crunchy.

Bacon Me Crazy: Calling all meat lovers! This sizzling trio isn’t your average grocery store bacon. With exclusive gourmet selections from America’s best smokehouses, you’ll be able to spice up your cheese boards, brunch spreads, and backyard barbecues with this original collection.
