Roquefort AOP: The King of Cheese, and the most famous blue in France
Sharp, creamy and deeply savoury, with blue-green veins that tell you exactly what you are in for. Roquefort is not subtle, and that is precisely the point.
Made from raw sheep's milk and aged in the natural caves of Combalou in the village of Roquefort-sur-Soulzon, this is one of the oldest cheeses in France and one of the most protected. The blue-green veins come from Penicillium Roqueforti spores introduced during production, giving Roquefort its signature tangy, salty intensity. Aged for a minimum of 3 months, the texture is creamy and smooth, the flavour bold but never harsh.
How to enjoy Roquefort AOP?
On a cheese board, spread it on a crisp baguette and drizzle a little honey on top. The sweetness cuts through the saltiness beautifully. Add some fig and walnuts alongside and you have a classic combination that needs nothing else. It also works brilliantly crumbled into green salads or stirred through a warm sauce for steak or pasta.
Wine pairing: Roquefort pairs best with sweet whites like Sauternes or Barsac, or with a powerful red if you prefer to go in a different direction.

The Roquefort cheese is everything I hoped for, absolutely delicious and in excellent condition. I was most impressed by the packaging; thick foam box with a labyrinth sealed lid, reflective bubble wrap and two, still mostly frozen, cold packs. Overnight delivery.
