French blue cheese
Roquefort is a sheep-milk blue cheese from southern France. Though, within differences between legal roqueforts, indistinguishable cheeses are produced elsewhere, EU law dictates that only those cheeses aged in the natural Combalou caves of Roquefort-sur-Soulzon may bear the name "Roquefort", as it is a recognised geographical indication, and has a protected designation of origin.
