Don't wanna waste any more time (or taste buds) on subpar cheese? Start over with some wheels of MouCo's fromage - or part of one anyway. This local cheese maker uses antibiotic-free milk that travels just 3 hours from cow to workshop. The result: three soft-ripened cheeses so fresh you wanna slap 'em - nutty Camembert, creamy MouCo Blü (washes down great with a Blue Paddle), and spicy ColoRouge. Each variety ages in the rind, so the date on the label tells you whether your round is more likely firm and mild, or pungent and soft. Our favorite invention: MouCo Blü, cranberry sauce, and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar on bread - all grilled to gooey perfection.

Wanna Try: 

MouCo, available at Whole Foods Market, 2375 E. First Ave. Map It (720-941-4100). MouCo Blü, $7.50/5.3 ounces.

Cocktail Fact

Researchers found the remains of what appeared to be cheese in Egyptian tombs more than 4,000 years old.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 Denver Biters opt for a half-pound of local cheese rather than the conventional stuff, we'll save enough fuel to fill a bathtub.
