Roquefort AOP Papillon Black Whole Wheel (3 pound)

I like a strong blue and this is it, makes a great dressing, used to get roquefort dressing in the 70's then they quit making it, couldn't get the cheese anymore from france

So the first time the cheese arrived damaged because FedEx didn't properly secure and store the package. When I contacted the merchant they took immediate action to address the issue to my satisfaction.Highly recommend this cheese to any Bleu and Roquefort lover. It's pristine quality when shipped correctly and has a wonderful balance of pungency and crumble - which gives way to softness as the cheese approaches room temperature.Absolutely outstanding product and even moreso outstanding customer service. I'm looking forward to doing business with them again.

Don't order when weather is over 100 degrees daily. . . When it arrived from the shipper it was "sweating profusely," and I was worried the flavor, texture, etc. would be compromised. If so, it only was apparent in the slightly "dryer than usual" semi-rind. It is one of the two or three best bleu-veined cheeses you can order for delivery in this country. The flavor is still gently but firmly with you for lovely minutes after you have savored it directly. Easily sliced when cold, let it sit at room temp for an hour before spreading on water crackers or mashing with a fork to mix in a creamy dressing. Confession: I mainline it straight . . . guiltily. . . .

Will it be okay?

This is the best of the Roquefort cheeses. It's got a great consistency and a strong, but balanced taste. A gem of a cheese..

Packaging needs more insulation .When I received the cold pack was melted should have been colder.cheese was not as cold as I expected

Fast delivery. Packed with care and totally worth the cost. Thank you.

This is the best of the big brand roqueforts, slightly more robust and a little softer than the Societe. The shipment arrived from iGourmet in only fair condition, however. There were 2 small ice packs in the cooler, which was not enough. I opened the box within an hour of arrival, and everything was room temperature inside. Roquefort tends to lose water as it warms, so the cheese was wet, and some of the mold had died off as a consequence. Also, the plastic wrapping was not intact, so there was a fair amount of leakage. This made it kind of a mess to unwrap and cut the cheese. Also, the cooler was packed loosely with the half-wheel, two ice packs, and a couple bags of air, so the cheese was a little beat up on arrival.None of this was a disaster, and the cheese tasted just fine. But iGourmet might want to do better in preparation and shipping if it wants top reviews.
