It is made from sheeps milk cheese which is then put in a cave in Roqufort to mature. There are natural Penicillum-Roquforti spores in the earth around these caves which are then blown into the cheese through the little cracks in the cave.

It is unclear what cheese is the oldest made in France. The Latin historian Pline the Old (23-79 AD) talks of an unnamed French cheese from the Nimes region, saying it is much in fashion in Rome.
