Roquefort A.O.P.

 

Roquefort A.O.P., often hailed as the "King of Cheese," is celebrated for its bold and complex flavor profile. Made exclusively from raw sheep's milk, the cheese boasts a rich, creamy texture punctuated by distinctive blue veins. The tangy and salty notes create a harmonious flavor with a lingering finish.

Renowned as a passionate and skilled artisan cheesemaker, Rodolphe Le Meunier has earned accolades for his dedication to preserving and enhancing the French cheese tradition. With a commitment to using the finest ingredients and following time-honored methods, Le Meunier has become a revered figure in the world of gourmet foods.

Le Meunier's Roquefort undergoes an exacting aging process within the natural limestone caves of Combalou in Roquefort-sur-Soulzon. The unique microclimate of these caves, coupled with the Penicillium roqueforti mold naturally present in the environment, contributes to the cheese's singular character.

The French classically use Roquefort to add a luxurious texture and that iconic tang to a variety of sauces, quiches, and tarts. In America, it is more often served alongside crackers, crusty baguettes, and other charcuterie board essentials. Sweet wines like Sauternes, Port, Riesling, or Rosé are an excellent match, while beer drinkers should reach for a nutty brown ale. Allow this cheese to come to room temperature to ensure you can enjoy the full spectrum of its flavors.
