MouCo ColoRouge is a natural rind cheese that is reddish-orange in color with a slight white finish. Soft and creamy is a great description for the textures as well as taste and aromas. Mildly earthy tones compliment the slight acidity of the young cheese. As it ages the cheese will start to soften, develop a pronounced buttery characteristic as well as develop a further complexity in its earthy characteristic. MouCo ColoRouge is fully aged at 7-8 weeks. At this point the cheese flavor is quite complex with its buttery creamy flavors as well as a developed earthiness that is spicy and …well…just addictive. The cheese just begins to get gooey when left to warm to room temperature.

We’re excited to introduce our newest raw milk find from Spain! This “Sacred Dame” is produced using Murciana goat’s milk in the town of Carpio de Tajo, just outside of Toledo. The goats belong to a cooperative of farmers who also are members of the dairy that make the cheese. They believe in aging the cheese a minimum of 6 months to accentuate the best features of the cheese, which has a full flavor (sweet and grassy) and great protein formation.
The cheese is made in Posada de Valdeon, in the Castile-Leon region of the northwestern Spain and is wrapped in sycamore maple or chestnut leaves before being sent to market. The cheese has a very intense blue flavor, but is not as yellowed or as biting as its cousin Cabrales. Aged 6 Months
