Roquefort Cheese

Roquefort cheese is a famous blue cheese from France, specifically made from sheep's milk. It’s known for its distinct tangy flavor and creamy texture, which come from the mold Penicillium roqueforti that is introduced during production. The cheese is aged in limestone caves, where it develops its unique blue veins and rich taste. Roquefort has a strong aroma and is often used in salads, dressings, or enjoyed with bread and wine. It holds a designation of origin, meaning it must be produced in a specific region of France to be officially called Roquefort.
