👉 You’ll find MouCo at most King Soopers, City Market, and Whole Foods Market stores in Colorado. We also partner with restaurants across the state, from cozy mountain towns to Denver dining spots. And if you’re traveling, keep an eye out — MouCo sometimes appears on menus in resorts and restaurants nationwide.

👉 Only if they’re sick — never as a routine practice. And milk from treated cows never goes into MouCo cheeses. In fact, milk with antibiotics wouldn’t even allow our cultures to do their job, so no cheese could be made from it.

👉 We use traditional 100% natural, non-GMO veal rennet in our cheeses.

👉 Nope. Our cows are never treated with rBST (synthetic growth hormones). Keeping them hormone-free helps ensure their well-being — and keeps our milk pure and consistent for cheesemaking.

👉 All of our milk comes from a family dairy just 20 minutes from our cheesery in Fort Collins. Staying that close means it’s always fresh, and we can work hand-in-hand with the farmers to keep every wheel of MouCo consistent from the start.

👉 Our cows eat a balanced mix of grains and forages. Colorado’s dry mountain climate makes year-round grazing impossible, so this diet keeps them healthy and the milk consistent — which means MouCo cheese is consistent too.

👉 No — we’re not certified organic.

👉 Yes — all of our cheeses are naturally gluten free.

👉 Keep your cheeses in the fridge, ideally wrapped in their original paper or in wax/parchment (check the date code for expiration) — not airtight plastic, which can suffocate the rind. Once opened, rewrap in the paper the cheese came in and plan to enjoy within a week for the best flavor and texture.

👉 We don’t recommend it. Freezing changes the rind and texture, often making the cheese crumbly. Unopened, our cheeses already keep about 3 months in the fridge, so freezing usually isn’t needed.

👉 If your order arrives damaged, please take photos of the shipping box and the cheese right away. You’ll need to file a claim with UPS: ups.com/claims. If you need any details from us to support your claim, just reach out with your order number — we’ll be glad to help.

👉 Absolutely! Cheese makes a great gift. Just place your order online and enter the recipient’s shipping address at checkout. If you’d like to include a gift note, add it in the order comments and we’ll print it on the packing slip.

👉 “Mou” nods to the mountains (and yes, it’s pronounced like “moo” because we make cheese from cow’s milk). “Co” stands for Colorado — and is pronounced like “oh,” as in "Oh my! That’s good!" 

👉 MouCo cheeses are made to be versatile — enjoy them simply with bread or crackers, melt them into pasta, fold into omelets, or top your favorite burger. You’ll also find recipe ideas in our online Cookbook for everything from appetizers to comfort food.

💡 Tip: Let the cheese come to room temp before serving — it brings out the best texture and flavor.
