Two people. One passion.

A love for cheese 🧀...

It’s been a journey filled with laughter, hard work, and many great memories… and it continues today!
— Birgit & Robert, Founders of MouCo Cheese
Robert and Birgit of MouCo Cheese Company, photographed together—partners in cheese, business, and life, shaping every wheel with care and vision.

🧀 Our Story Begins with Birgit, Robert… and Cheese

From day one, it’s been a wild and wonderful ride. Like any entrepreneurial adventure, we had our “here we go!” moment — the moment we jumped in with both feet, determined to make the world’s best soft-ripened cheese.

Birgit, the daughter of a German cheesemaker, grew up mastering the art of Bavarian soft cheese at Käserei Champignon. Robert, a fermentation expert at New Belgium Brewing in Fort Collins, brought creativity and bold ideas. Together, they sparked something special — blending tradition and innovation to form MouCo Cheese Company.

We Make Cheese Like It Matters...

...each cheese, a piece of us...

Bringing in the Milk: Chuck waits to load while the day starts strong—with coffee in a MouCo mug and a view built for cheese runs.
1

Bringing in the Milk

We begin with fresh milk from local Colorado farms. Chuck, our reliable milk truck, makes early morning trips to La Luna Dairy to collect milk. Each batch is tested for quality, ensuring only the best milk reaches our creamery.

HTST (High Temperature Short Time) pasteurization inspection in progress—part of our daily commitment to food safety and precision at MouCo Cheese Company.
2

Pasteurization

Using our HTST system, we pasteurize the milk to meet health standards while recycling 70% of the heat for efficiency. After pasteurization, the milk rests overnight before cheesemaking begins.

Cheese Making Begins: Looking up as the cheesemaker adds cultures and raw materials—kickstarting a fresh batch in the quiet early hours.
3

Cheese Making Begins

We warm the milk to body temperature and add hand-measured bacterial cultures. After fermentation begins, a whisper of natural rennet helps the milk curdle into a solid mass.

Cutting: MouCo’s state-of-the-art curd cutting—180 cheeses at once, captured as the knife glides through and curds fall cleanly through the harp.
4

Cutting

We cut the curd into dice-sized cubes to release whey. This step helps create the structure and texture of our cheeses as the curds gently contract.

Forming: Close-up of the curd delivery system—filling funnels in front, stainless shoots behind, and three MouCo cheesemakers deep in discussion as the curd flows.
5

Forming

The curds and whey are poured into molds using our KBA (“tipping vessel”) system. Each form holds 45 cheeses, and we fill eight forms per batch. The forms are flipped a few times to ensure even drainage and shape.

Cheese Ripening: Young MouCo cheeses resting on aging racks—orderly rows quietly transforming with time, care, and a little microbial magic.
6

Salting

The next day, we salt the cheeses to balance flavor and form the rind. After salting, cheeses are moved to racks for the ripening stage.

Cheese Ripening: Freshly salted MouCo ColoRouge rounds—naked and resting on stainless racks, just beginning their journey toward bold, washed-rind character.
7

Cheese Ripening

Cheeses age in our ripening room under careful temperature and humidity control. A beautiful white mold begins to grow on the surface, protecting the cheese and enhancing flavor as it matures.

Packaging: One week before the wrapping machine arrived—five of us spent three days hand-wrapping the same amount of cheese we now wrap in four hours. A serious taste of scale-up life.
8

Packaging

We wrap each wheel in breathable cheese paper imported from Germany. This special paper allows the cheese to continue aging gracefully until it’s ready to be enjoyed.

Explore Our Process
A sleek trio of MouCo cheeses—Camembert, ColoRouge, and Ashley—lined up in custom packaging that shows off their creamy textures, award-winning heritage, and Colorado-made charm. A ready-made gift or tasting flight for cheese lovers craving bold, soft-ripened flavor.
