IDS ROQUEFORT CHEESE PDO

IDS Protected Designation of Origin Roquefort blue-veined ripened fatty soft sheep's cheese

Roquefort, which Diderot and d'Alembert called the king of cheeses, is the oldest protected designation of origin, which it received in 1925. Before that, it was made from goat's and sheep's milk. Today, it is made exclusively from the milk of Lacaune ewes. Legend has it that Roquefort was born by accident: a shepherd once forgot his bag in a cave. When he returned some time later, his bread was mouldy and his sheep's cheese had turned blue. In reality, it is now believed that the veins that appear randomly in this cheese were due to the mixture of goat's and sheep's milk.

Tips

Replace dessert with cheese: Instead of finishing your meal with a slice of cake, make a small cheese platter with nuts and fresh or dried fruit.

• Fresh cheeses can be complemented with oily fruits.
• Blue cheeses go well with very sweet fruits.
• Cheeses with a rind go well with apples and pears.
• Goat's and sheep's cheeses pair well with summer fruits.
