Roquefort Cheese

Roquefort Cheese is a mold‑ripened cheese popular in European cuisines (think Roquefort, Gorgonzola) and commonly used crumbled on salads, in dressings, or melted into sauces. It is prized for its sharp, tangy flavor and characteristic blue veins. Nutritionally, Roquefort Cheese is a concentrated source of protein, providing about 21.4g of protein per 100g, and it also contributes calcium and vitamin B12. Because it’s a full‑fat, aged cheese it delivers substantial saturated fat and sodium, so smaller portions are typical in recipes. From a health perspective it supplies high‑quality protein and useful amounts of bone‑supporting minerals, but its richness and saltiness mean it’s best enjoyed in moderation or substituted with lower‑fat alternatives when you need a lighter option.
