“Roquefort” story
Roquefort is an ancient cheese which dates back about 2,000 years and it well deserves its reputation as one of France's national treasures. We know that Roquefort dates back at least to 79 C.E. because Pliny the Elder wrote about its rich aroma.
But legend dates the cheese even earlier, with a story about a poor shepherd who saw a beautiful girl in the distant hills of South Central France. Determined to follow her, he left his simple lunch of rye bread and cheese behind in one of the crevasses found throughout the limestone cliffs in the region. Some days later he returned alone, disappointed and starving – only to find that his bread had turned moldy and the mold spores had migrated onto and into his hunk of cheese. His paltry meal didn't look very appetizing, but he ate it anyway and found to his delight, that the cheese was truly delicious. "Merveilleux!" he cried – and rich, buttery, tangy Roquefort cheese was born.
