Crumbled Roquefort cheese from whole sheep milk wheels, featuring bold blue veins from Penicillium roqueforti and a piquant flavor.

• Label clearly as crumbled Roquefort to avoid misclassification as processed cheese; check for quota exhaustion especially from EU; provide lab analysis confirming Penicillium roqueforti
