From a secular tradition, Roquefort is the first French A.O.C. cheese. It is made exclusively from sheep’s milk, stored in naturally-formed cellars where it is left to mature for at least three months. Under the vigilant supervision of the Master Cheese Maker, it develops its marvelous aromas and taste. Since 1863, Société has respected and upheld this tradition. Known as the “King of the cheeses”, the reputation of the Société Roquefort has extended far beyond the French borders and is now present in 80 countries.
