Roquefort Cheese, also known as the “King of Cheeses,” is a distinctive and revered blue cheese hailing from the South of France. With its strong and tangy flavor, Roquefort is a true delicacy that has been enjoyed for centuries.
Our Roquefort Cheese comes in a generous wheel weighing 1.4kg, ensuring you have plenty to savor and share. Crafted using traditional methods and aged to perfection, this cheese is a testament to the artistry and expertise of French cheesemakers.
The flavor profile of Roquefort is characterized by its rich and creamy texture, punctuated by veins of blue mold. The cheese offers a bold and complex taste, with hints of saltiness and a pronounced tang. Its unique flavor is a result of the specific Penicillium roqueforti mold that develops during the aging process.
Roquefort Cheese is made from raw sheep’s milk, which adds to its distinctive taste and texture. The milk is carefully selected from local farms in the region, where the sheep graze on lush pastures abundant with wild herbs. This natural diet contributes to the cheese’s exceptional flavor and aroma.
Known for its crumbly yet creamy texture, Roquefort is a versatile cheese that can be enjoyed in various ways. It is a wonderful addition to cheese boards, where its pungent and complex flavors complement other cheeses, fruits, and nuts. Crumble it over salads for a burst of flavor or melt it into sauces to elevate your culinary creations.
Pairing Roquefort with a sweet dessert wine or a robust red wine enhances its taste and provides a delightful contrast of flavors. Its bold and assertive character also makes it a favorite among food enthusiasts who appreciate strong and distinctive cheeses.
