Roquefort

Roquefort is a blue-veined sheep cheese made from raw sheep’s milk in France, with AOP certification. The texture is soft and creamy, laced with blue-green veins that give it that characteristic spicy, salty flavor. On the palate it’s rich and complex, with a mild sharpness that lingers. The sheep’s milk adds a lush, buttery roundness that keeps the salt nicely in balance.

According to our description, this Roquefort is aged in the caves of Roquefort-sur-Soulzon, which gives it its distinctive character. It’s best enjoyed at room temperature, allowing the cheese to soften and its aroma to open up. Spoon it straight or crumble it over a dish: a little goes a long way, because the flavor is intense.
