Blue cheese is a catch-all term for cheeses that have blue coloration or veins due to the particular fungus used in its production. While Roquefort is a blue cheese, not all blue cheeses are Roquefort.

Can pregnant woman eat Roquefort cheese?

It is not recommended that pregnant women eat Roquefort cheese. It is a blue moldy cheese and mold has toxins that are not good for the baby. Also it is a raw milk cheese with a fresh rind so there is a lot of bacteria, such as listeria that may be present as well. Listeriosis can cause miscarriage and early delivery. I love blue cheese but its not a good idea to eat while pregnant.

Can you drink cabernet sauvignon with roquefort cheese?

Yes you can drink anything you want with roquefort, however...#1. Serve Roquefort at room temperature. (Take it out first and let it sit on your cheese plate for 30min - 1 hour prior to serving)#2. Roquefort (and other blue's) go better with a stronger/ sweeter wine. Roquefort is very aromatic, and has a high salt content. I would serve it with a Port or a Bordeaux, however I have had a Sauvignon Blanc with some and it was very good aswell. Basically you don't want a weak wine. It has to stand up to the cheese.
