Roquefort

Roquefort is the oldest protected cheese in the world, already receiving its first royal protection back in 1411. This blue-veined cheese is made exclusively from raw sheep’s milk from the Lacaune breed and aged in the natural caves of Roquefort-sur-Soulzon. The unique microclimate inside these limestone caves creates the perfect conditions for the Penicillium roqueforti mold. The result: a creamy, crumbly cheese with an intense, salty flavor and bold blue veins.
