This is not your average Roquefort. A small-batch, artisan-made blue cheese from the town of Roquefort in southern France, this wheel is handcrafted with extraordinary attention to detail — including extracting their own penicillium roqueforti culture from rye bread baked in-house. That level of dedication shows in every bite.Made exclusively from the raw milk of Lacaune sheep — a breed prized for its rich, generous yield — this Roquefort is intensely flavoured yet beautifully balanced. The paste moves between silky, creamy curds and grittier pockets of blue mould, creating a texture that is as complex as the flavour. Perhaps a touch fruitier than most Roqueforts, with a mild acidity and a natural saltiness that lingers just long enough.Milk: Raw Sheep's Milk | Origin: Roquefort, France | Aged: Minimum 3 monthsHow to enjoy it: Spread generously on a crisp baguette and finish with a drizzle of honey — the contrast is magic. Crumble over a green salad, or serve alongside fresh figs and walnuts for a classic French cheese board moment.Wine pairing: Roquefort loves sweetness — a glass of Sauternes is the traditional match and for good reason.All our cheeses are cut by hand, so the weight may vary slightly.
