Roquefort

Roquefort is a famous blue cheese from the south of France, made from sheep's milk. It is known for its creamy texture and strong, tangy flavor, which develops from the presence of mold, specifically Penicillium roqueforti. This cheese is aged in natural caves, giving it a unique character. Roquefort is often enjoyed on its own, paired with fruits, or used in salads and sauces. Protected under European law, true Roquefort must come from specific regions in France to carry the name, emphasizing its quality and traditional production methods.
