Here’s a bold confession: I love chocolate. I love cheese. But when they come together? Pure magic. Introducing Murray’s Cave Aged Limited Triple Crème de Cocoa—a foodie dream come true. This Valentine’s Day, skip the box of chocolates and treat your taste buds to a love affair that’s both unexpected and unforgettable: chocolate cheese.
Murray’s has outdone themselves with this indulgent creation. They start with St. Stephen, a rich, buttery triple cream from Four Fat Fowl in New York’s Hudson Valley. This cow’s milk cheese is dense and creamy, the perfect base for something special. Then, a dark milk chocolate from renowned French chocolatier Pralus is drizzled on top—yep, you read that right—chocolate on cheese. The halves are reassembled, and the magic happens in the cave. For two weeks, they age together, developing an irresistible bond. The result? A decadent cheese wheel that mirrors the structure of a classic Morbier, but instead of a line of ash, it’s chocolate.
The chocolate's fruity, bitter notes perfectly complement the rich, creamy cheese, balancing the sweetness with a touch of sophistication. It’s a surprising yet harmonious duo, ideal for both sweet and savory pairings.
So this Valentine’s Day, ditch the predictable and savor this limited-edition masterpiece. Serve it up with these pairings for a date night that’s way better than candy. Trust us, this is one cheese that knows how to steal your heart.
