Murray’s Cheese is New York’s oldest cheese shop – it has been a Greenwich Village favorite for more than 75 years. For the first fifty years, there were just two owners. Then, in the early 1990’s, grocery industry veteran Rob Kaufelt was standing in line at the counter when he heard the owner telling a customer he was going to sell the shop. Rob made

A Thriller About GMOs!
As you probably know, Ricki (the Cheese Queen) and all of the staff at New England Cheese Making Supply Co. supports the labeling of GMO foods (Genetically Modified Organisms). Ricki testified at a hearing recently about this subject (click here) and she feels very strongly about the importance of transparency in our food supply.

What is the FDA?
We hear a lot of news about the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) when they make decisions about cheese. It’s scary to hear that a new regulation has been passed and will be enforced.
