This young Roquefort has a velvety white paste with blue-green marbling throughout. The superior milk comes from the Lacaune ewes that graze in the high-altitude Causses plateaus. The fresh curd is infused with a strain of penicillium roqueforti developed exclusively for this dairy. This unique strain gives a distinctive personality to our cave-aged Roquefort, a beautiful blue that is appreciated by chefs worldwide. The cheese has a subtle aroma; the taste is well-balanced, moderately salty, and creamy. The cheese melts in your mouth with a refreshing long finish.
