Retailer Spotlight: Murray's Cheese Shop - Paying Homage to Fromage

October is American Cheese Month. Yes, there is a whole month dedicated to cheese. So, if you haven't been properly celebrating the fabulousness of fromage, you still have some time. A good place to start is Murray's Cheese Shop in New York. Murray's has been a Greenwich Village fixture for 74 years, and it's no wonder this fabled cheese shop is still going strong. With Rob Kaufelt, author of  The Murray’s Cheese Handbook, at the helm along with his wife, Nina Planck, who happens to be the country’s leading expert on farmers markets and real food, patrons continue to reap the benefits of their passion and knowledge. Dedicated to spanning the globe in search of new and interesting artisan cheeses, Murray's prides itself on bringing back the best cheeses being produced from such Meccas as California, Vermont, Athens and Wales. Amongst the fine cheeses at Murray's Greenwich Village and Grand Central Station locations, you can also find Allgood Provisions products, including:

• Organic High Antioxidant Trail Mix
