MouCo Cheese Curds — Fresh.

Squeaky.

Unforgettable.

Some cheeses age in cellars for months. This one...skips the wait and arrives the same day they’re made, squeaking with life.

Award-winning and Colorado-crafted, these cheddar curds took 2nd place at the American Cheese Society competition in 2023 — with no first place awarded — topping their category against some of Wisconsin’s finest.

Bite in and you’ll get a buttery, mild cheddar hit, wrapped in that signature squeak. Warm them up and they turn into molten, creamy pockets that melt into whatever you’re cooking — poutine, stuffing, or a snack plate that disappears faster than you planned.

MouCo Cheddar Cheese Curds

Award-winning and Colorado-crafted, MouCo Cheese Curds® deliver the buttery, mild flavor and signature squeak that made them a top-of-category winner at the 2023 American Cheese Society competition. Fresh from the vat and bouncy to the bite, they’re a pure expression of just-made cheddar. Enjoy them cool for their squeaky charm or warmed into creamy, molten pockets that bring gentle cheddar tang to everything from poutine to holiday stuffing.

These cuts remind me of my childhood. I can't get enough of them. My kids love for them too.

These are amazing! I hate missing a fresh curd day, and my kiddos do too! They are still amazing even when they have lost their squeakiness, and just a delicious cheese over all. I love seasoning on the curds once they’ve started aging. MouCo makes such tasty cheese!

I'm from Wisconsin originally and when these are fresh FRESH they are better than the ones at the local cheese factories I grew up with 😆 ... once they've been refrigerated after a couple of days they are still amazing, on par with the curds back home - but no curd is ever as good as it is the day it's born and cut straight from the vat 🙃 So do yourself a favor and if you're local get on that curds text notification list so you can be there when they're FRESH 😀

My one wish is that they would offer more seasoned flavors, like dill, pizza, bloody mary, cajun, or everything bagel! But plain is amazing and you can add your own seasoning of course.

The fresh curds are absolutely amazing, always try to get some when I’m in Fort Collins!

I love fresh cheese curds (I moved to Colorado from Wisconsin several years ago), and MuoCo curds do not disappoint! Fresh, squeaky, and delicious! They're always worth grabbing a few bags whenever they're available!

The Story Behind the curds...

Award-winning, Colorado-made, fresh, squeaky MouCo Cheddar Cheese 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’d toured our cheesery years earlier and knew exactly why we couldn’t make cheddar-style curds. One day, she called and offered us her old one.

A family member 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 place, she took 3rd, and with no first place awarded… we shared the top of the category. 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.
