It ranks with Stilton and Gorgonzola as the three musketeers of blue cheese, setting the gold standard for all other blues. Roquefort is made from raw sheep’s milk, as opposed to the pasteurized cow’s milk of its chief rivals. It is aged naturally in the caves of Cambalou for a minimum of three months, developing an intense flavor profile. The Roquefort Association, Inc. protects the quality of Roquefort and marks all genuine Roqueforts with a red sheep seal (it is made from the milk of Red Lacaune sheep). This world renowned cheese is soft, rindless, and a bit crumbly. Made from raw sheep’s milk

The most prized and celebrated of all French cheeses, Brie is believed to have been created prior to the Eighth Century. Charlemagne’s chronicler, Eginhard de Saint Gall, reported that the Emperor enjoyed it at the Priory of Rueil in the town of Brie in the year 774. In 1815, the Prince de Tallyrand named Brie “Le Roi de Fromages” - The King of Cheeses. Each of our French Bries is shipped uncut. Enjoy it with a glass of Champagne! Made from pasteurized cow’s milk.
