Roquefort Black Label is a blue-veined cheese made from sheep’s milk, originating from the Roquefort-sur-Soulzon region in France. This half-block format, approximately 1.35kg, is produced under AOP (Appellation d’Origine Protégée) regulations, ensuring strict adherence to traditional methods. Distributed by Prodilac, it is known for its distinctive blue veining and creamy texture.

Detailed Information

Roquefort is matured in natural limestone caves, where the development of Penicillium roqueforti creates its characteristic blue-green veins. The texture is moist and slightly crumbly, yet creamy on the palate, with a pale ivory base contrasted by the marbling.
The flavor is pronounced and complex, offering a balance of salty, tangy, and savory notes, complemented by a distinctive sharpness and lingering finish. The “Black Label” designation typically indicates a more refined selection, with consistent veining and well-developed maturation.
