The Legend of Roquefort Like any discovery, Roquefort was born by chance. The legend tells of a young shepherdess rather sexy was chased by a pervert for 45 days. Once he was caught, she felt so bad for her feet than the perverse feet dipped in the milk of sheep because there was no running water at the time. 45 days after the milk was processed into cheese. And as it was in Roquefort, was called Roquefort.
