About Rochebaron Cheese

Rochebaron is a soft, blue-veined cheese from the Auvergne region of France, made with pasteurized cow's milk. It has a creamy texture and a strong aroma that can be quite inviting for those who enjoy bold cheeses. The cheese has a cream-colored body with blue veins running through it, giving it a visually appealing appearance. Its mold-ripened rind adds to its flavor profile, offering a pleasant contrast to the creamy interior. Known also as Montbriac, this cheese pairs well with crusty bread and a glass of red wine, making it a popular choice for cheese boards.
