Roquefort cheese is not an antibiotic; it is a type of blue cheese made from sheep's milk and is known for its distinct flavor and blue veins caused by the mold Penicillium roqueforti. While the mold used in its production is related to the penicillin family, consuming Roquefort cheese does not provide antibiotic effects. Instead, it is enjoyed for its unique taste and texture in culinary applications.
There are hundreds of french cheeses such as Brie, Comte and Roquefort.
Le roquefort
Roquefort cheese gets its distinctive blue veins from the mold Penicillium roqueforti, which is introduced during the cheese-making process. This mold develops in the cheese as it ages, creating the characteristic blue-green marbling. The specific conditions of humidity and temperature in the aging caves of Roquefort-sur-Soulzon further enhance the mold's growth, contributing to the cheese's unique flavor and texture.
