Roquefort Papillon Blue Cheese, Half Wheel, Approximately 3 lbs.

Description

For over a century, since its birth in 1906 in the France’s Aveyron region, Papillon Roquefort has stood as an exceptional sheep’s milk cheese, holding the prestigious title of France’s very first Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) cheese. To create its signature character, the cheese masters cultivate their own Penicillium roqueforti using rye bread baked right in the cheese factory’s bakehouse. The cheese  are then meticulously aged by master refiners who closely monitor the environment to ensure perfect refinement. Whether enjoyed simply on a slice of rustic bread or used to bring subtle savors to your kitchen, it offers a truly luxurious tasting experience.
