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.

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.

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.


Is Roquefort or blue cheese a probiotic?

Both Roquefort and blue cheese can contain probiotics, which are beneficial bacteria that can promote gut health. However, the amount and type of probiotics can vary depending on the specific cheese and how it is produced. It's best to choose cheeses labeled as "raw" or "unpasteurized" for higher likelihood of containing probiotics.
