Caves Roquefort Société

Roquefort is ripened inside the Combalou rock above the village, and this is the visit that takes you into it. A guide leads you for about an hour down through several levels of natural caves, explains how the caves formed, and then shows the refining cellars where the cheese spends its time. The tasting included at the end turns a vague idea of "blue cheese" into clear differences you can taste. Expect cool air underground and a real sense of how much of the flavor comes from the place itself.
