Roquefort Cheese

Quick Overview

Roquefort cheese is moist and breaks into little pieces easily. Genuine Roquefort is made from sheep’s milk, and after aging for 3–5 months, 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.
