MouCo Cheese Curds

Fresh. Squeaky. Unforgettable.

Our MouCo Cheddar Cheese Curds aren't just any snack—they're award winners! In 2023, they earned the 2nd place award at the American Cheese Society (ACS) competition, a prestigious event often dubbed the Oscars of the cheese world. Even better, since no first place was awarded, MouCo’s curds effectively topped the category. Competing with Wisconsin's cheese giants, our curds shined with their unmatched freshness and signature squeak.

MouCo Cheese Curds
Flavors and Aging Information

🟢 When Fresh

MouCo Cheese Curds are at their squeaky best when just made—mild, creamy, salty, and with a delightful “squeak” that curd lovers cherish.

🟡 As They Age

As the curds age, the squeakiness gradually diminishes. After about two weeks, they begin to develop a more complex, buttery flavor, with a slight reduction in tanginess. Warming them up can revive some of that original squeakiness, bringing back a bit of their youthful charm.

🟠 Fully Aged

By four weeks, the curds have evolved into a richer, more cultured cheese experience. The texture becomes denser, and the flavor takes on a deeper, cheddary profile—smooth, soothing, and irresistibly cheesy. Though they’ve lost their squeak, these aged curds offer a comforting, savory bite that’s every bit as satisfying.

The Story Behind the Squeak

It’s that little burst of savory goodness, coupled with their fresh, squeaky texture, that makes them simply irresistible—a pure, unadulterated taste of cheese in its most delightful form.

🧀 The Curd That Could...

Over the years, curd lovers frequently asked us to add cheese curds to our lineup—but the equipment required was quite different from what we use to make our soft-ripened cheeses, so we kept the dream on hold.

That changed when a friend from Minnesota offered us a charming cheese vat. We brought it to Colorado, and it’s been a flavor-filled adventure ever since. Now, we’re proud to offer MouCo Cheese Curds—made fresh with the highest-quality milk and available at King Soopers across Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region.

They’re packed with that beloved squeak and a satisfying bite that keeps curd lovers coming back.
