Roquefort
Roquefort is a popular French cheese, made from fresh unpasteurized sheep’s milk. It is known as the ‘cheese of kings and popes.’ This cheese is protected by AOC (PDO) guidelines. It is moist and breaks into little pieces easily. The cheese is creamy with a sharp, tangy, salty flavor. Roquefort belongs to the group of the so-called blue cheeses due to the blue-colored veins it develops from the growth of Penicillium roqueforti, which is added to the curd or introduced through holes poked in the rind known as spiking.
