Roquefort Back to Cheese Shop Home
Product Details:
Roquefort is considered as the "King of cheeses". It has a tingly pungent taste and is highly ranked among blue cheeses. Only the milk of specially bred sheep is used and is ripened in limestone caverns. It has a cylinder-shape with sticky, pale ivory natural rind. Ripe Roquefort is creamy, thick and white on the inside and has a thin, burnt-orange skin. The ripening of the cheeses is in the natural, damp aired caves found under the village of Roquefort-sur-Soulzon. It is the quality of the milk, the processing of the curd, the adding of "Penicillium roqueforti" and finally the ripening in natural caves that give us this unique and remarkable cheese.
