Award-Winning Colorful Colorado Soft-Ripened Icon

MouCo Camembert - A Legacy Born in Bavaria, Raised in Fort Collins

Our signature soft-ripened cheese has been at the heart of MouCo since 2001. Rooted in Bavarian traditions passed down through Birgit and her father, and reimagined with the bold spirit of Colorado, it blends old-world craftsmanship with fresh, local character.

When we started, soft-ripened cheeses like Brie and Camembert were almost invisible in the U.S. market. Choosing Camembert as our first wheel was natural: creamy, nuanced, and never in a rush to reveal its secrets. It taught us how to blend European tradition with Colorado milk and intention—setting the foundation for every award-winning wheel we’ve made since.

MouCo Camembert

Soft, slow-ripened, and unmistakably Colorado, MouCo Camembert is crafted to evolve. Each wheel begins with fresh local cow’s milk and time-honored technique—no preservatives, no stabilizers. Just real milk, real time, and a natural bloomy rind that blossoms into flavor.

Young, it’s firm with a bright tang. Aged, it softens into a gooey, buttery core with nutty, earthy character. Whether sliced with bread or tucked into puff pastry, this award-winning artisan cheese is a quiet stunner.

🌿 Camembert: Our First Expression of MouCo's Standards

“No additives. No shortcuts. Just real milk, real time, and a real love for cheese.”

These aren’t just ideals—they’re the reason Camembert was the first cheese we ever made, and why it still defines what MouCo stands for. This wheel is proof that artisan cheese can be honest, approachable, and award-winning, all without compromise.
