Roquefort IGP La Coccinelle 100g

The origins of Roquefort La Coccinelle are intertwined with the very history of the village of Roquefort-sur-Soulzon in France. Here, as early as the 6th century AD, this blue cheese was produced, taking advantage of the unique climatic conditions of the natural caves. These caves, carved into the limestone massif of Larzac, offer an ideal environment for cheese aging, with constant temperature and humidity that favor the development of Penicillium roquefort mold, responsible for the characteristic bluish veins and intense flavor that distinguish it. The raw material of Roquefort La Coccinelle is the raw milk of Lacaune sheep, a native breed that grazes in the green French pastures. This milk, rich in aromas and flavors, gives the cheese a strong and spicy taste, with notes of aromatic herbs and a slightly spicy aftertaste. The minimum aging of 5 months in the caves of Roquefort-sur-Soulzon further amplifies these characteristics, creating a complex and persistent harmony of flavors. Roquefort La Coccinelle is a versatile cheese that suits many occasions. Perfect for aperitifs and appetizers, it adds a touch of character to salads, sauces, and dressings. Also excellent for savory pies and to accompany sweet wines, this PDO blue cheese will win over even the most demanding palates. The production of Roquefort La Coccinelle follows strict quality and sustainability criteria. The milk comes from sheep farms that respect the environment and animals, ensuring a genuine and authentic product. Moreover, aging in natural caves allows for reducing the environmental impact of the production process.
