The Story

The smallest producer of Roquefort with the ability to export to The United States, and one of the few family-owned producers of Roquefort remaining. A Legend has it that blue cheese was first created - accidentally - when fresh cheese was left next to molding bread for several days. Delphine Carles tips her hat to this by cultivating mold spores from local rye bread and inoculating her Roquefort with it. Most who have tasted it believe that this method is what makes her Roquefort superior to all others.
