Teaches at Murray's Cheese

At Murray’s, we know cheese, so who better to teach our award-winning courses than those in the cheese trenches every day? From experienced cheesemongers to wholesale directors, from our cavemaster to our Kroger field team, Murray’s faculty takes cheese knowledge to a whole new level. We also host our beer, wine, and whiskey friends, as well as incredible producers of the products we’re proud to feature in the shop.

    The concept of the class was great and something we were looking forward to. The sampling of different cheeses in different states, along with the bubbly/wine was a nice touch. We have done a number of cooking classes in our hometown as well as other cities we have travelled to. None of these classes involved cheese or in this case making a specific cheese, so it might not be a fair comparison. The other classes were instructor lead and participatory, just like this one. However, the process was laid out in steps, with the instructor giving you direction for each step. This class was watching the instructor go through all the steps and then we were allowed to start. It was easy for her since she has done this multiple times in the past. But for a first timer it was very confusing, trying to remember what was said and then try to duplicate the steps. And it didn't go very well, with each of our efforts resulting in a less than acceptable finished cheese. Since we took it with us as we left, we both threw our "finished product" in the trash. The class was also very messy dealing with the cheese and water. It would have been nice to have some protection/covering (aka an apron) to protect our clothes as both of us experienced some splashes and spots on our clothes that were supposed to be worn again during our vacation. I doubt we will try this at home based on our experience, and instead just go out and purchase the cheese when we have the occasion to serve it. For the money, this was a total bust. We had hoped for more.

The tasting after the tour was delightful and included wonderful descriptions of the plated samples. The tasting guide seemed very knowledgeable and welcomed questions. If you love cheese and the proprietor's description piques your interest do it! Murray's has done a wonderful job in structuring the tour and seeing the rooms where cheese is aged with explanation is very informative.

    First, the two presenters were very knowledgeable and friendly. Presentation and seating facilities were excellent. As a way of feedback, I do wish there was more variety of wines and cheeses. Fewer whites, more reds. The Cardamaro, a digestivo, did not belong at all with the paring of cheeses. Neither did the Lambrusco, which, as an apperitivo was excellent, it just didn't belong around the cheese.

    Anonymous review on 5/31/2017
    The class was great. I learned a lot about cheese. I didn't get to talk to my seated neighbors enough. Though. It felt kind of awkward. I think in the beginning the host should initiate a recommendation and alott some time to introduce ourselves to each other and for us to share our nuts/cherries/apricots/etc. with each other. Because I spent some time feeling awkward sitting so close to people and wondering....,. I'm glad to know more about cheese now. I also didn't get ANY refills on my wine. Granted I didn't drink an insane amount. But I did drink some..... and my wine should have been filled to the top like every ten minutes for the amount that I paid. The girl also didn't answer my question when I asked it. Thankfully someone asked the same thing ten minutes later. Thanks!

The room itself was a little small ( everyone was little cramped together) and there was about 25 mins of preamble while everyone was sat there salivating over tetr cheese. Better to let people dive in straight away and structure the information knowledge and anecdotes ( which is all great) around the qualities of the cheeses themselves. If left too long most people give up listening and go straight into the cheese tasting and then lose the added value of the commentary ( as most on my table did!)

    Not a traditional "class" in any way- much more of a field trip with an opportunity to try good cheese and beer. A tour guide led us through the cheese shop's "caves" (their cheese storage and aging facilities in the basement) which was a quick but informative 20 minute endeavor. We then got the chance to try four cheese and four beers- we were not given any real instruction on this other than a sheet of paper with some information. If you're looking for a fun, easy weeknight activity, I highly recommend this, but it was not the most "educational" class ever.
