3rd PLACE SOFT RIPENED WASHED RIND – AMERICAN CHEESE SOCIETY AWARDS 2023
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.
Fourth generation cheesemaker Javier and his wife make this teardrop shaped cheese in their home in Lugo, Galicia, which also doubles as a cheese plant. It’s a tiny operation with only 4 employes, and the care with which this award-winning cheese is made shows. Javier waits until the end of the process to smoke the cheese with birch wood for up to 90 minutes. It develops a lovely caramel colored exterior, a golden interior with tiny eyes and a subtle smoked flavor. Javier says the aroma reminds his customers of a time gone by, when their food was cooked over a wood-fired flame. We couldn’t agree more.
Homemade! We hand-pull strands of fresh mozzarella and add our own cultured cream to create this amazing textural stracciatella.
