blue-by-ewe cheese

One of the great appellation controlled cheeses, and widely heralded as the King of French cheeses. Ripened in caves, Roquefort's (roke-FORE) marbled blue veins are induced by "fleurines", currents of air let into the cave to assist the mould development process. This mould carries is own fame and is now recognized as "Penicillium roqueforti". All rindless wheels are foil-wrapped and stand 100mm high and 200mm in diameter. Roquefort has one of the most complex and robust blue flavours that sets it apart from all other blues. Soft yet crumbly, with a spicy, sea-salty flavour. The greenish- blue veining characteristics make Roquefort easily recognizable.

How should I use this cheese?

Roquefort deserves to be shown off as a dessert cheese paired with a sweet dessert wine or served crumbled with a side salad.

This is delicious - pleasantly salty, but light and throughly enjoyable if used in moderate quantities. I'm a real blue cheese fan, but hubby doesn't usually go for 'stinky' cheeses. So, it was a pleasure to see him happily working his way through this on light crackers. We saved about half which we plan to crumble through a fresh salad tomorrow. Can't wait!

I visited the cellar door just after Christmas and tried their newly released blue which just melted in my mouth. This is the closest Australian blue to the real thing (Roquefort) i have ever tried! I would recomend anyone to try it.

Keep up the good work guys!
