Roquefort Blue Cheese

Roquefort Blue Cheese

Everyday

Roquefort is a French blue cheese made exclusively from sheep's milk and aged in natural limestone caves, where it develops its characteristic Penicillium roqueforti mold veins. This pungent cheese offers a sharp, salty flavor profile alongside notable calcium and protein content, though it's also high in saturated fat and sodium. Its creamy yet crumbly texture makes it ideal for crumbling over salads or pairing with sweet dessert wines, while its intense aroma distinguishes it from milder blue-veined cheeses.
