Roquefort Papillon Noir is a type of Roquefort cheese known for its distinct blue veins, creamy texture, and rich flavor. This cheese is made from raw sheep's milk and aged in the natural limestone caves of the Aveyron region in France. The aging process in these caves contributes to its unique and powerful taste.

About Roquefort Papillon

It’s in the Roquefort-sur-Soulzon Papillon Fromagerie, located in the heart of the Aveyron region, that the Protected Designation of Origin Roquefort Papillon cheese was born in 1906. If the Aveyronnais terroir is an exceptional place to produce Roquefort, the intervention of people and master refiners is indispensable: it is thanks to their monitoring of the temperature and the humidity of the cellars in which this delicious sheep cheese is refined that it can take the time to be take on unique flavors.
