Societe

Société® has been devoted to the art of Roquefort since 1863, making it the world’s leading producer of this legendary blue cheese. Rooted in the village of Roquefort-sur-Soulzon in southern France, Société continues the centuries-old tradition of transforming local sheep’s milk into a cheese of remarkable flavor and texture. Roquefort was the very first cheese to be awarded Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status in 1925, solidifying its place as a symbol of French gastronomic heritage.

According to legend, Roquefort was discovered when a young shepherd left his sheep’s milk cheese in a cave and returned to find it streaked with blue veins—nature’s own creation. Today, Société carefully ages its cheeses in the same natural limestone caves, where the unique environment nurtures the signature marbling and bold, tangy character that define true Roquefort.

By preserving traditional methods while maintaining the highest standards of quality, Société ensures that every wheel of Roquefort carries with it both history and excellence, offering cheese lovers worldwide an authentic taste of French tradition.
