Description  

Small production of a strong artisan-made well-marbled blue cheese. Handmade, the producers extract their own penicillium roqueforti from rye bread baked in-house. Like other Roquefort productions, the milk comes solely from the Lacaune breed – whose yield is notably large compared to other breeds – creating an intense, powerfully flavoured cheese. Perhaps fruitier and better balanced than other Roqueforts, the pate switchbacks beautifully between the creamy curds and grittier blue moulds. A truly individual cheese.

Country of origin: France
Region, town: Roquefort
Source of milk: Raw Sheep
Texture: Creamy and smooth
Flavour: Slightly salty with mild acidity
Aging time: Minimum 3 months

Serving suggestion: Spread it on a crisp piece of Baguette. Drizzle a bit of honey on top to add a sweet companion to the cheese's natural saltiness. Add it to green salads or enjoy with some fig and nuts.

Wine Pairing: Best paired with sweeter styles of wine, traditionally Sauternes.

 

*All our cheeses are cut by hand so the weight may vary slightly :)

  • Great blue vein cheese 5

    Posted by Bruce on 21st Nov 2023

    Wonderful, rich cheese, great flavour and perfet for a cheese board and would be perfect but far too good in cooked dishes. if you like blue cheeses, this is probably as good as it gets.

  • Roquefort 5

    Posted by Olivia on 29th Mar 2022

    Not for the faint-hearted, this cheese is a marvel. Admittedly, I am careful as to when I add it to a cheeseboard as some people are wary of the strength of flavour however, for me, I love it.
