Vallée Verte BIO Roquefort AOP – Noble French Blue Cheese with Designation of Origin

Premium Cheese · Protected Origin · Artisanal Maturation

🧀 Origin & Craftsmanship

The Vallée Verte BIO Roquefort AOP originates from the Aveyron region in Southern France – the legendary home of Roquefort. In the cool natural cellars of Roquefort-sur-Soulzon, this cheese matures according to strictly protected AOP specifications and ancient artisanal methods. Here, in the humid limestone air, it develops its unmistakable blue mold, which gives it depth, complexity, and character – a true masterpiece of French cheesemaking.

🥛 Milk & Quality

Made from 100% organic sheep's milk of the Lacaune breed, whose milk is known for its high fat content and full aroma. The raw milk is processed with the utmost care and inoculated with the noble mold Penicillium roqueforti. This results in a rich, creamy-crumbly texture and an intense, yet perfectly balanced flavor – completely without artificial additives, but full of authenticity.

🧂 Taste & Texture

This blue mold soft cheese captivates with its creamy-crumbly structure and its powerful aroma of salty pungency, butter, and ripe nuts. The taste is strong, spicy, and elegantly piquant, with a fine balance of sweetness and minerality – an unmistakable expression of its origin and maturation in the legendary limestone caves.

🍽️ The Art of Enjoying Cheese

Let the Roquefort breathe for about 30 minutes before serving, so its complex aromas can fully develop. Enjoy it pure, on rustic bread, or as the crowning touch to a salad with pears and walnuts. It also unfolds its intense, creamy spice in sauces or on warm steak.

🍷 Perfect Pairing

Ideal with a Sauternes, Port wine, or Monbazillac, whose sweetness and depth perfectly balance the salty-spicy character. For a classic pairing: figs, honey, or walnuts – a harmonious interplay of sweetness, spice, and creaminess.
