Roquefort is a traditional French blue‑veined cheese made from raw sheep’s milk, falling under the Milk and dairy products group. It carries a Nutri‑Score of E and is classified in NOVA group 3, reflecting its high fat (31 g), saturated fat (22 g) and salt (3.2 g) per 100 g while containing virtually no sugars and a modest 19 g of protein. Thus, the cheese offers rich flavor and protein but its high energy density and sodium make it a less suitable choice for low‑fat or salt‑restricted diets.
