MouCo PepBert®

A Bold Twist on a Beloved Classic

MouCo PepBert brings an unexpected dimension to soft-ripened cheese. Starting with our signature Camembert-style base, we fold in whole green peppercorns—creating a striking contrast of creamy richness and bright, peppery complexity. As it matures, the peppercorns soften and infuse the cheese with citrusy heat and savory depth, adding a unique liveliness to each bite.

This seasonal cheese balances tradition with innovation. The result is both familiar and exciting: a soft, creamy texture wrapped around bursts of warm spice. Whether enjoyed on its own, melted over a burger, or paired with crisp greens, MouCo PepBert offers a playful and satisfying experience for those who appreciate bold flavor.

True flavor is never rushed—it’s carefully cultivated.

🧀 What This Cheese Had to Become...

PepBert began with a memory—one Christmas in Germany, staring at a shelf full of soft-ripened cheeses. Among all the rotating flavors over the years, one always remained: green peppercorn. It was a quiet classic, embraced by some of the biggest soft cheese makers in the world.

When we started developing our seasonal line, it just made sense. Why chase novelty when something this timeless worked so well? We tracked down the right green peppercorns—ones with lemony, citrusy notes and a gentle heat—and folded them into our Camembert.

The result surprised even us: a soft cheese with bursts of flavor, visual character, and a subtle warmth that feels both familiar and completely new. PepBert wasn’t a reinvention—it was a rediscovery.

Flavors & Aging Information

When Young

(0-3 weeks)

MouCo PepBert starts with a firm, creamy texture and a lively tang. The green peppercorns are snappy and bright, adding citrusy top notes and just a touch of heat to the youthful cheese.

Developing Complexity

(3-7 weeks)

As the cheese ripens, the paste softens and takes on a buttery richness. The peppercorns begin to mellow, infusing the cheese more deeply with their warmth and subtle citrus character, creating a balanced interplay of spice and cream.

At Peak Maturity 

(7-8 weeks):

Fully matured PepBert becomes luxuriously soft—almost spoonable at room temperature. The pepper heat smooths into the background, complementing the rich, savory depth of the cheese. Each bite offers a complex, satisfying warmth that lingers.
