Roquefort has always been my favourite cheese as far as I can remember. My father made me tried it when I was only 1 year old. This delicious cheese made of raw sheep milk has always been associated with the excellence of French gastronomy. It dates back to the 11th century and is a historical symbol of the Aveyron. You definitely should have a try.
In the following verrine recipe, Roquefort will be associated with caramelized shallots. That was my first time tasting caramelized shallots. I never had try it before. What a shame because it is simply delicious. I was really astonished as I could not imagine it would have a such irresistible taste.
As always this verrine recipe takes only few minutes, looks beautiful and taste really good. If you like roquefort as much as I do, you might want to have a look to this Roquefort & Walnuts Salad.

This sounds incredibly yummy!
Roquefort has long been one of my favourite cheeses too but I went to an interesting cheese tasting on Thursday when some Yorkshire blues (from Shepherd’s Purse) were compared with Roquefort. A little different but equally good.
Oh, I would love to taste it. Sounds wonderful !
