“Robert and … #44”

A blog category of pics I’ve taken of HR (Hubby Robert) and … well, just about anything.

Robert and … a big hunk of Roquefort cheese.

TIB (Truth in Blogging): I have never bought a hunk of blue cheese before. I usually buy it as a container of crumbles. I was surprised at how much more succulently moist it was compared to my lowly crumbles.

Blue cheese seems to be one of those foods that people either love or hate. Similar to oysters.

TIB 2: HR doesn’t like oysters.

TIB 3: HR doesn’t like blue cheese.

TIB 4: I still like HR.

Here he is, dramatically explaining something or other. I can’t remember what. I wasn’t paying much attention. I was too focused on my blue cheese.

“Roquefort is one of the oldest known cheeses. It was reportedly the favourite cheese of the emperor Charlemagne, and in France it is called le fromage des rois et des papes (the cheese of kings and popes).” Brittanica.com

So what exactly is Roquefort cheese?

“Roquefort is a blue cheese with a unique flavor profile that originates from the picturesque Roquefort-sur-Soulzon region in France. Its distinctively rich, tangy taste and creamy texture have made it an enthusiast’s favorite among cheese lovers around the world. This cheese, aged for three to five months in local limestone caves, holds a protected designation of origin (PDO) status.” cheese.com
