About Roquefort

Roquefort is a renowned blue cheese originating from the south of France, made from sheep's milk and aged in limestone caves. Famous for its intense flavor and creamy texture, Roquefort is distinguished by its aromatic blue veins, formed through the addition of Penicillium roqueforti. Rich in calcium and protein, it contributes to bone health and muscle repair, making it a nutrient-dense addition to dishes or enjoyed on its own. However, it is also high in fat, cholesterol, and sodium, necessitating moderation, especially for individuals with heart conditions or high blood pressure. Roquefort is celebrated in French cuisine and pairs well with fruits, nuts, and robust wines, offering both a complex taste and versatility in cooking. Its bold profile, combined with its nutrient content, makes it a unique indulgence when consumed mindfully.
