Introduction
Gourmet-Food's Roquefort is the epitome of world-class, premium blue cheese. This iconic cheese is made exclusively from the milk of Lacaune sheep, handpicked in the Aveyron region of Southwestern France. Roquefort has been gracing cheese boards around the world for more than a millennium, and is still regarded as one of the finest blue cheeses ever made.
Taste
The tangy, salty flavor of Roquefort is unmatched in the world of blue cheese. Its distinct, crumbly texture is packed with bold, sharp flavors that can best be described as "rich" and "luxurious." Roquefort's unique character comes from the mold that is used to produce it, which creates its signature blue veins and sharp taste. There is no other cheese that comes close to the distinct flavors of Roquefort.
Uses
This one pound of Roquefort is perfect for everything from creamy, indulgent dips to exquisite salad dressings. The salty, tangy flavor of Roquefort cheese is also perfect for cutting the richness of red meats, lending a milder flavor to gamey meats like venison or elk. You can also add Roquefort to sauces or gravies as an easy way to add interest and depth. For an even more elevated experience, pair Roquefort with a sweet dessert wine, like a Sauternes, for an unforgettable taste sensation.
