Rochebaron

soft and mild cow’s milk blue

The Savencia Fromage & Dairy of Beauzac in the Haute Loire make the very popular Saint Agur and Rochebaron, which is an even creamier cow’s milk blue cheese. Aged for 30 days, it is covered with vegetable-based charcoal to seal in the taste.

It takes its name from the Château de Rochebaron in nearby Bas-en-Basset.
