Cheese Cave Internship - Fall Session

About the role

At Murray’s we know cheese and we love to share it. That is why we created the Cheese Caves Internship, to provide opportunities for enthusiastic individuals to expand their knowledge of cheese and cheese aging. As a cheese cave intern, you will be working side-by-side with our affinage (that’s French for aging cheese) team and learning the craft, art, and science of maturing cheese.

Responsibilities

This internship is a crash course in the care of cheese as it ages, including tasks such as washing unctuous, stinky cheeses and carefully flipping and patting bloomy rinds. This internship is very hands on.

Requirements

No previous cheese experience is necessary to apply. Candidates should be passionate about cheese, be able to communicate what they hope to learn from the internship and have the ability to perform physical tasks in a cold environment.

Qualifications

This is an eleven-week, 35 hour/week commitment at our warehouse in Long Island City (Queens, NY) during our warehouse hours of Monday through Friday 9AM-4:30PM. The spring internship session runs from September 8 to November 25.

Schedule

This is a temporary role, although many of our interns move into permanent positions within our warehouse, retail locations, or corporate office. The internship will take place from September 8 to November 25, Monday through Friday 9AM-4:30PM.
