About Cheese, roquefort
Roquefort is a blue-veined sheep's milk cheese from southern France, aged in natural limestone caves where specific mold cultures create its unmistakable sharp, salty, mineral-edged flavor. Fat is high, as expected from a rich sheep's milk base. Crumble it over salads or mix it into dressings and butter. The intensity means a little goes far, which helps offset the rich fat content in practical use.
