Mouco
| MouCo Colorouge is a soft-ripened, washed-rind cheese produced in Fort Collins, Colorado, blending Bavarian cheesemaking tradition with American innovation. Made from locally sourced, pasteurized whole cow's milk from La Luna Dairy, it uses traditional veal rennet and ages 7-8 weeks, developing a creamy texture and evolving flavor from buttery to pungent. The cheese’s distinctive reddish-orange rind comes from Brevibacterium linens bacteria grown via a carefully controlled "smear" process mimicking European cave conditions. MouCo emphasizes quality control, sustainability, and artisanal hand labor, pairing well with wines like Pinot Noir and dry Riesling, and various local beers. | |
