Roquefort Cheese AOP - Papillon
One of the most identifiable of France’s benchmark cheeses, Roquefort received the first AOC in 1925, recognising the strict criteria for production. The harsh dry land of the Massif provides an environment suitable to sheep farming, whilst the naturally formed limestone caves create the ideal microclimate for encouraging mould formation.The famous Papillon Butterfly brand is well known for its consistently moist ivory texture interspersed with striking steely blue moulds.After 14 days in the cave, the wheels are then aged for a minimum of 4 -5 months, so the cultures can continue to develop their characteristic complexity of flavour and veining.Powerful, rich, with a creamy mouthfeel and spicy finish.
