The Best Fall Spiced Products to Enjoy Right Now

Behind the RindSEP 24, 2025

There’s a chill in the air, the leaves are starting to turn, and suddenly the world seems sprinkled with cinnamon. Fall flavors are here, and at Murray’s, we couldn’t be happier. From cozy pumpkin spice to tart-sweet spiced cherry and nostalgic apple spice, these autumnal tastes make the season feel magical. In this guide, we’ll dive into what these flavors are all about, how to pair them with cheese (of course!), and which products you’ll want on your table right now.

Pumpkin Spice: A Seasonal Classic

No fall flavor has earned more fanfare than pumpkin spice. But what is it, exactly? It’s not pumpkin itself—it’s the warm blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger that’s traditionally used in pumpkin pie. These spices have ancient roots, but they became a modern fall sensation with the rise of the pumpkin spice latte. Want to make one at home? Try our boozy take on the classic—Pumpkin Spiked Latte with Cheese Pairings—for a seasonal sip that’s as indulgent as it is cozy.

Cheese pairings are where pumpkin spice really shines. Creamy cheeses like brie or mascarpone echo the richness of pumpkin pie, while an aged gouda brings caramel notes that stand up to the spice. For an instant fall upgrade, slice into Murray’s Cave Aged Limited Buttered Pumpkin, our unique triple crème cheese that has an orange stripe of fall spices, alongside apple slices or crackers. And don’t miss Sartori Pumpkin Spice Bellavitano and Blake Hill Pumpkin Butter—two of our favorite seasonal treats.

Apple Spice: Cozy and Nostalgic

Apple spice is pure autumn comfort. Think cinnamon-dusted apple cider donuts, hot mugs of cider with a hint of clove, or bubbling apple pie cooling on the counter. Apple spice balances fruity sweetness with warming spices, making it one of the most versatile fall flavors.

Cheese loves apple spice. An aged or clothbound cheddar slices beautifully against the sweetness of apples, while Alpine cheeses like Gruyère bring a nutty counterpoint. Our Heirloom Apple Butter is a must-have for spreading on toast, pairing with blue cheese, or serving on a fall cheese board. For something more festive, try our Cheese-Stuffed Apple Cider Donut Holes or sip on an Apple Cider Mule with Cheese Pairings.

Spiced Cherry: A Sweet Surprise

If pumpkin and apple are the familiar favorites, spiced cherry is the sleeper hit of fall flavors. Tart cherries are simmered with cinnamon and cloves to create a sweet, tangy, and slightly warming profile that’s irresistible with cheese.

Our Spiced Cherry Preserves are a seasonal standout—perfect with creamy blues like Stilton, decadent with triple-cream brie, and elegant with earthy tommes. They also star in our Greatest Hits collection, making them a gift-worthy treat. For a showstopping fall cheese board, pair spiced cherry preserves with nutty Alpine cheese, toasted pecans, and a drizzle of honey.

Takeaways

Fall flavors go far beyond pumpkin spice. Apple spice brings coziness and nostalgia, while spiced cherry offers a tangy twist that feels fresh and festive. Each of these flavors pairs beautifully with cheese—whether you’re crafting a pumpkin spice latte, baking with apple butter, or spooning cherry preserves onto a wheel of brie.
