Murray's
| Murray’s Cheese, founded in 1940 in New York City, produces Fresh Mozzarella as a high-moisture, fresh *pasta filata* cheese made from pasteurized cow’s milk (except a labeled buffalo variant). It uses vegetable/microbial rennet, making it vegetarian-friendly. The cheese is soft, elastic, porcelain-white, with a delicate milky flavor and slight acidity, meant for immediate consumption with a 1–3 week refrigerated shelf life. Production involves acidification to pH 5.2–5.4, followed by stretching in hot water. Spoilage signs include pink discoloration, sliminess, off-odors, and gas. Classic pairings include Caprese salad, pizza, Sauvignon Blanc, and Pilsner beer. | |
