– About us…

From day one, it’s been a wild and wonderful ride.Like any entrepreneurial adventure, we had our “here we go!” moment years ago… the moment we knew we were jumping in with both feet, determined to make the world’s best soft-ripened cheese.

It’s been a journey filled with laughter, hard work, and many great memories… and it continues today!

We invite you to learn more.

Rolling Out Wheels of Love

For us, MouCo has always been a labor of love. Every step of the way, we meticulously craft our cheese with incredible attention to detail—because we know that each wheel is going to find its way from our home, into yours.

Our story…the best of both worlds…

Bavaria, meet Colorado, Colorado…Bavaria.

Two rich cultures, each strong on their own – packed with story, style, and tradition.
What happens when you bring them together? …fireworks!

MouCo is a company built on love. Birgit, the daughter of a German cheesemaker, grew up, trained and worked at Käserei Champignon, a world-renowned soft-ripened cheese manufacturer. There, she learned the intricacies of the true, Bavaria soft-ripened cheese making process.

She took a new job oversee at New Belgium Brewing Company in Fort Collins, Colorado, and met a talented, free-spirited Robert Poland, who was the fermentation manager at the time. They were a match made in fermentation heaven, and soon they set off to start their own company – a soft-ripened cheese company named MouCo. The blend of Bavarian bravado and Colorado creativity proved to spark something very special. The very best of both worlds…MouCo Cheese.

Proudly Sustainable From Day One

Birgit and Robert, MouCo’s Owners, helped New Belgium Brewing Company, their previous employer, develop a strong passion for environmental standards and community support. We’ve continued these values at MouCo, where we work tirelessly to make cheese in a socially and environmentally friendly fashion.

Soft Cheese, Soft Hearts

At MouCo, we feel strongly about giving back to the community that’s helped us grow. Since 2001, we’ve been a fixture in the vibrant artisanal food world, and we believe that local and independently owned businesses are a vital part of any thriving community.
