Milk Type Sheep

Cheese Type Blue

Wine Sauternes

Roquefort, the quintessential French blue cheese, has been made for centuries exclusively in the Aveyron district of south central France. This piquant, richly flavored, creamy, crumbly sheep's milk blue melts in your mouth. Carles Roquefort is a perfectly-balanced, utterly spectacular artisanal-production Roquefort, the only Roquefort still hand-ladled and made exclusively with Rye bread. As Roquefort is delicious by itself, sublime with a glass of port or sherry, spectacular in sauces, and great crumbled on top a salad or pasta, it is unarguably one of the most versatile cheeses available today. Roquefort is traditionally paired with Port or Sauternes and is fantastic with just about any dessert wine.
