Le Bleu Société is a variant of the classic Roquefort cheese, produced by the Société Roquefort company. It is a blue cheese made from sheep's milk, similar to traditional Roquefort, but with a slightly milder and creamier texture. Le Bleu Société has a smooth, buttery flavor with the characteristic tang of blue cheese, making it more approachable for those who may find traditional Roquefort too strong.
It is also aged in the same caves as Roquefort, where it develops its signature blue veins from the Penicillium roqueforti mold. This cheese is widely available and is a popular choice for both culinary use and as a table cheese.
