Award-Winning Colorado Made Cheese Curds
🧀 MouCo Cheese Curds - Fresh. Squeaky. Unforgettable.
For anyone who grew up with cheese curds, the squeak is more than a sound — it’s a memory. Biting into a fresh curd is childhood fairs, road trips through dairy country, and that grin when the cheese actually talks back.
MouCo Cheese Curds earned 2nd place at the 2023 American Cheese Society competition (with no 1st place awarded), standing shoulder to shoulder with the best in the country. Made fresh in Fort Collins from 100% local cow’s milk, they’re salty, cheesy, and alive with that joyful squeak you just can’t fake.
MouCo Cheddar Cheese Curds
Award-winning and Colorado-crafted, MouCo Cheese Curds deliver the fresh, mild cheddar flavor and signature squeak that earned 2nd place at the 2023 American Cheese Society competition (with no 1st place awarded).
Straight from the vat, they’re tender and bouncy — a pure expression of just-made cheddar. Snack them cool for their squeaky charm, or warm them into creamy, molten pockets that bring gentle cheddar tang to poutine, soups, or holiday stuffing.
The Story Behind the curds...
📞 A Call From a Friend...
For years, curd lovers asked us to add cheese curds to our lineup — but the equipment needed was completely different from what we use for our soft-ripened cheeses, so the dream stayed on hold.
That changed when our friend Alise at Redhead Creamery in Minnesota decided to upgrade her vat. She knew us, knew our setup, and knew why we couldn’t make cheddar-style curds. One day, she called for a chat, let us know she was upgrading, and offered us her old one.
A member of her family horse-trailered it down to Colorado, we hooked it up, and before long we were making curds the way they’re meant to be. The very next year, both of us placed at the American Cheese Society competition — we took 2nd, she took 3rd, and with no 1st place awarded… we shared the top of the category. Funny how life goes sometimes...
Today, you can find our curds fresh at King Soopers across Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region.

MouCo Cheese Curds – A Flavor Journey
Discover how texture, flavor, and aroma change in cheese curds
🟢 When Fresh
(0–2 days) At their squeaky best — buttery, mild cheddar flavor with a creamy, salty bite and that joyful “squeak” curd lovers crave.
🟡 As They Settle
(3–14 days) The squeak softens and the flavor deepens into a richer, more buttery profile. Warm them to bring back a hint of their original bounce.
🟠 After a While
(About 4 weeks) The squeak is gone, replaced by a smooth, cheddary richness with a denser bite. Comforting, savory, and every bit as satisfying as day one — just in a different, yummy, cheesy way.
