Murray's Cheese Stockinghall Cheddar is a cave-aged, clothbound cheddar developed as a signature house cheese that showcases Murray’s expertise in affinage and its commitment to American cheese craftsmanship. Made from cow’s milk in collaboration with Old Chatham Creamery, the cheese is traditionally wrapped in cloth and aged in Murray’s caves, where controlled humidity and time allow it to develop a dense, firm texture and a complex natural rind.
The flavor profile is deep and layered, combining savory, almost meaty notes with rich dairy sweetness, nutty undertones, and subtle hints of fruit that emerge with maturity. Its structure is robust yet balanced, delivering pronounced umami and a long, evolving finish.
Stockinghall has earned major recognition at international cheese competitions and is widely regarded as a benchmark for modern American cheddar. It stands as a clear example of Murray’s role not only as a retailer, but as an active producer and curator shaping the identity of contemporary American cheese.
