Thanks for the info, Waterbuffy, I don't want the sheep myself because I don't have any limestone caves to go with them otherwise I would go into pseudo Roquefort production! I just lurve Roquefort.Regards, Dave
You wouldn't be able to call it roquefort cheese though, as roquefort cheese is a DOP which means it can only be called roquefort if it is made in certain area's in France, according to EU law this is what it stipulates..... Though similar cheeses are produced elsewhere, EU law dictates that only those cheeses aged in the natural Combalou caves of Roquefort-sur-Soulzon may bear the name Roquefort, as it is a recognised geographical indication, or has a protected designation of origin. You could however make it and call it a different name instead, that is if it was for commercial cheesemaking. There is someone in England which makes a cheese which is essentially Feta, but because Feta is a DOP protected cheese, which means it can only be called feta if it is made in Greece, they punned on the name and called it Veta.
