ARCHAEOLOGY OF CHEESE - Roquefort - Chef's Mandala

What is Roquefort? It's a French sheep’s milk blue cheese named after the Combalou caves in which they’re aged. Roquefort is a rindless raw milk cheese and so is wrapped in foil. Long ago, to make this cheese, a loaf of bread infused with penicillium roqueforti was thrown into a cave. This was how the blue mold was introduced into the cheese. Who invented Roquefort cheese? This fromage's legendary origin, like most romantic stories, starts with a lady. One day a French youth saw a hot chick. So he hid is meal of bread and cheese in a cave to chase after her.
