Roquefort AOP, 150g

Roquefort, the French king of blue cheeses, made from ewe's milk and aged in the Combalou caves. Sharp, salty and creamy. Crumble over salad, melt into sauce, or serve with walnuts and honey.

The Roquefort AOP, offered in a 150g wedge, is a distinguished French blue cheese renowned for its rich and complex flavor profile. 

Crafted exclusively in the Rouergue region of France, it is protected by the Appellation d'Origine Propirée (AOP) designation, ensuring adherence to traditional production methods. Made from pasteurized ewe's milk, Roquefort AOP is aged in natural limestone caves in the Combalou region, which contributes to its distinctive character.

The cheese features a creamy texture with a crumbly consistency and a marbled blue veining pattern caused by Penicillium roqueforti mold. It measures approximately 150 grams in weight and provides an intense sharpness balanced by a salty, slightly tangy flavor.

The cheese exhibits an aromatic profile with notes of earthiness and nuttiness. Roquefort AOP is ideal for use in salads, such as classic Roquefort salads, melted into creamy sauces for steaks or pasta, or paired with walnuts, honey, and baguette for cheese platters. It is suitable for culinary applications that benefit from its pungent aroma and flavorful punch.

The 150g package ships as a single wedge, and the cheese should be stored refrigerated at 4°C or below. For best quality, consume within 7 days of opening. Roquefort AOP requires no special preparation before serving, but it is recommended to bring it to room temperature for optimal flavor. The cheese is a natural product with no artificial additives, and it is not suitable for freezing. Proper wrapping and refrigeration help maintain its texture and flavor integrity during storage.
