Murray's was acquired by The Kroger Co. in 2017 and has cheese counters in more than 1,100 stores including Kroger, Ralphs, QFC, Fred Meyer, and Harris Teeter.

Cheese options – For the best grilled cheese, you want to use a combination of mozzarella (for its cheese pull and non-greasy melting qualities) with a flavoured cheese – because mozzarella actually has a very mild flavour. A good vintage cheddar or gruyere are my absolute favourites.

In its 75 years in existence, Murray's Cheese has never actually made its own cheese, so Annelies — which it created from initial concept into R&D, and then aged in its own caves — is a big deal.
