From the name of Roquefort sur Soulzon, in the Aveyron and for good reason, this is where he was born. According to legend, in the Middle Ages, it was in Roquefort that a shepherd left his cave to go flirt. He is like the goat of Monsieur Seguin, the shepherd, he is tormented by his temper and he has only one thing in mind, to taste his neighbour. A pretty shepherdess. Seeing her pass, he leaves very quickly to follow her, he forgot some curdled milk on his bread. And here he is, babbling, babbling, taking his time, talking again and again to persuade her to finally give in to his advances. We must believe that the damsel was not easy since the shepherd did not return home until the next day Disaster, he discovers that the milk on his bread has changed color. And he’s hungry the guy, who knows why. His stomach growling, and having no more bread for a snack, he launches: he tastes the mixture, expects to be sick and discovers that in the end it is not bad. It’s even very good. This is how Roquefort was born.
