President Societe Roquefort PDO Raw Sheep Milk Cheese

It is not every cheese that can claim the favor of both emperors and Enlightenment philosophers, but Roquefort is not every cheese. Dubbed the “King of Cheeses” by Diderot, its story is a blend of legend and law—from the shepherd who supposedly discovered it in the Combalou caves to its status as the very first food to receive a protected designation of origin (PDO) in 1925. This is the benchmark against which all other blue cheeses are judged. Our Président Société Roquefort is a direct link to this heritage. It is made exclusively from the raw milk of Lacaune sheep and aged in the very same natural, ventilated limestone caves in Roquefort-sur-Soulzon where the legend was born. It is in this unique microclimate that the Penicillium roqueforti works its magic, creating the cheese's iconic blue-green veining and profound flavor. For the classic Texas steakhouse, the traditional French bistro, or the purveyor of fine wines, Roquefort is a non-negotiable pillar of the craft. Its flavor is an authoritative statement: a sharp, salty, tangy attack that melts into a remarkably creamy, complex finish. It’s the definitive choice for crumbling over a prime filet mignon, whisking into a sauce, or serving as the powerful conclusion to a meal for a clientele that understands and expects the timeless classics.
