Etymology
The word Roquefort comes from a village in France called Roquefort-sur-Soulzon, where people first made this cheese from sheep's milk and aged it in cool caves. Those caves let a blue mould form the cheese's 'blue veins' and strong taste, so Roquefort now means a rich, blue-veined French cheese.
