This week, discover Roquefort, a blue mould cheese that either love or hate (some say it’s our Marmite).

Roquefort is easily recognisable thanks to its blue veins stretching across its moist and crumbly body. It is creamy and aromatic, complex and intense, with sharp and tangy nuances.
Even though some other cheeses might be close in flavour, Roquefort is actually protected by EU law. Only cheeses aged in the natural Combalou caves of Roquefort-sur-Soulzon may bear the name Roquefort, as it is a recognised geographical indication, often labeled as a “protected designation of origin” (AOP).

After reigning supreme over his discipline for many years, the giant from Guadeloupe has discovered the taste of defeat. But not to the point of getting used to it.. After his two gold medals won in London and Rio, the heavyweight champion (+100kg) intends to add a third to his list of achievements. To enter a little more into the legend. He is expected on 30 July on the tatami of Tokyo, from 4am. Before a possible quarter-final at 6.12am, a semi-final at 10.51am and the final at 11.59am (French time). ... See MoreSee Less
