Legend has it that Roquefort was born of the "amorous" negligence of a shepherd who forgot cheese and rye bread in a cave, only to find his cheese bluish but tasty. Above all, Roquefort is a cheese unique in the world!
Tasting Notes: Shiny ivory to cream-yellow paste, regular blue veins slightly chalky at first, and then very smooth on the palate. Cellar and penicillium notes, deep and complex taste with a powerful salty finale.
Pairing Suggestion: Whether for brunch, a gourmet meal, tapas or a gourmet tartine, Roquefort is perfect for any occasion. Explore the different combinations by accompanying it with dried fruit, jams, various types of bread or, depending on the season, fruit and vegetables.
Perfect pairing with sweet wine (Jurançon / Sauternes) or honey amber beer.
