Roquefort is the ancient blue cheese from the Rouergue, a small region of southern France. It ranks with Stilton and Gorgonzola as the three musketeers of blue cheese, setting the gold standard for all other blues. Roquefort is made from raw sheep's milk, as opposed to the pasteurized cow's milk of its chief rivals. First evidence of Roquefort was discovered in 79 A.D. when Pliny the Elder wrote of its rich aroma. It was the favorite cheese of Charlemagne. In 1411 King Charles VI gave rights to the ageing of Roquefort to only one village: Roquefort-sur-Soulzon. It is aged naturally in the caves of Cambalou for a minimum of three months, developing an intense flavor profile. Roquefort quality comes from the ewe's milk, the processing of the curd, the "penicillium roqueforti" and then the maturation in natural caves. The milk is so prized that any leftover milk is saved, which is then used to make France's Valbreso Feta.

The Roquefort Association, Inc. protects the quality of Roquefort and marks all genuine Roqueforts with a red sheep seal (it is made from the milk of Red Lacaune sheep). This world renowned cheese is soft, rindless, and a bit crumbly.

  • Made from unpasteurized sheep's milk.

Excellent
Creamy at room temp. Great true roquefort flavor. Wonderful with crackers and a glass of pinot.

Who-wee! This stuff is strong!
I'll have to try it in a salad dressing recipe, because it's too strong to eat plain! I rated it four wedges, since I'm sure it's good quality -- I just can't eat it!

It is excellent! How about selling Sheep's raw butter? For those of us who are unable to consume bovine and/or goat products. Please return to pure products.

Rotted
Brown streaks and globs inside. Package swollen. Stinks horribly. Ice packs more than half frozen upon receipt. Never again Vernieres Roquefort. Going back to different brand. Shudder.

Awsome Flavor
Great experience. I dont write reviews but this time I felt compelled to do so. The product is the best I have ever had. It came to me in great shape and as expected. On time delevery 3 days from order date. As you will find out once you have this cheese in your hands it will just melt away in your mouth. Now it's time to oredr more and try new types of cheese

Good Roquefort cheese
For years I have looked for Roquefort cheese in the grocery stores. I finally went on-line and found you. I ordered and promptly received my purchase. While this cheese is very good, it does not quite reach my expectations since it is somewhat less flavorful than the Roquefort I remember from years ago. Is it possible that another variety of Roquefort could be what I remembered - one that might be more flavorful? I have a wonderful recipe for Roquefort dressing that I received in 1963. The dressing made at that time by the person from whom I received the recipe was somewhat more flavorful. I do not know the variety of Roquefort that chef used. Again, you promptly sent my order of Roquefort cheese and it arrived in excellent condition - still cold in the special insulated bag. Many Thanks!
