MouCo Boo Cheese®

MouCo Boo®: A Washed-Rind Cheese with Bold Personality

MouCo Boo® stands out with its golden-orange rind and creamy, approachable interior. This award-winning washed-rind cheese develops its character through a careful aging process that encourages wild cultures to shape the surface and flavor. Early on, Boo has a firmer, slightly tangy bite. As it matures, the texture softens and the flavor deepens—becoming savory, earthy, and full of quiet intensity.

Intentional Aging and Distinctive Appearance

The vibrant rind of MouCo Boo® isn’t just for show. It forms naturally through repeated washings, inviting a robust mix of cultures to flourish. The result is a rich, edible surface that adds to both the look and the flavor. Beneath that rind, you’ll find a pale, buttery interior with a smooth mouthfeel and deep complexity—a signature of MouCo’s slow, intentional fermentation process.

A Flavor That Grows on You

MouCo Boo® takes you somewhere new with every bite. It begins with a bright tang, then unfolds into a more savory depth with a lingering finish that’s both grounded and compelling. Whether you’re new to washed-rind cheeses or a longtime fan, Boo invites you to enjoy a cheese that’s both honest and unexpected.

Craftsmanship Behind Every Wheel
“
”
True flavor is never rushed—it’s carefully cultivated.
— Birgit & Robert, Founders of MouCo Cheese

🧀 What This Cheese Had to Become...

MouCo Boo® wasn’t so much developed as it was summoned. Legend (aka Birgit) tells us it was first created in the catacombs under Paris by skeletons with excellent taste and questionable sanitation practices.

In reality, Boo® took shape when we began experimenting with washed-rind cheeses and discovered that annatto—a natural colorant—dulls the senses of certain microbes, softening their usual activity and giving the cheese its pillowy, almost eerie texture. It’s also finished with a light dusting of ash, adding to its haunting appearance and helping the surface ripen just right.

Washed repeatedly in microbial brews from bubbling cheesemaker cauldrons, Boo® became something bold, creamy, and hard to forget. A cheese for mortals—but beloved by skeletons.

Flavors & Aging Information

When Young

(0-3 weeks)

Fresh Boo® has a firmer texture with a gentle tang. The rind is just beginning to form, and the flavor is mild with subtle earthiness and a whisper of funk waiting in the wings.

Developing Complexity

(3-7 weeks)

As the rind develops its signature orange-and-ash glow, the paste softens into a creamy, rich interior. The flavor deepens, bringing savory, buttery notes with just enough washed-rind funk to make things interesting.

At Peak Maturity 

(7-8 weeks):

Fully ripened Boo® is soft, luscious, and spreadable. The rind is bloomy and aromatic, while the interior delivers a full, savory flavor with earthy undertones and a satisfying finish that lingers—like the memory of a really good séance.
