Mouco
| Ashley by Mouco is a soft-ripened, ash-coated cow's milk cheese from Colorado, created by MouCo Cheese Company founders Birgit Halbreiter and Robert Poland, blending Bavarian dairy tradition with American craft brewing. It features a visually striking ash rind, evolving creamy texture, and flavors of sweet cream, citrus, and mushroom. Ashley is made using locally sourced, hormone-free Holstein milk, with traditional animal rennet, and has won numerous awards. The cheese is lauded for its accessible yet complex profile, pairs well with sparkling wine or beer, and requires careful storage and handling to preserve its quality and presentation. | |
