Murray's
pronounced "cam-ahm-ber"
| Murray’s Camembert Fermier is a pasteurized, private-label French farmhouse-style cheese distributed by Kroger’s Murray’s Cheese, combining artisanal texture via hand-ladling with regulatory compliance to FDA rules forbidding raw milk cheeses aged under 60 days. It offers complex flavors superior to industrial Bries but faces logistical challenges in national cold chains causing advanced ripening and ammonia off-odors, polarizing consumers. Its strategic role is to signal authenticity and justify premium pricing in mass retail. The product balances traditional microbiology with modern supply chain constraints, serving as an accessible introduction to high-quality affinage in the U.S. market. | |
