Is Roquefort Cheese Lactose-Free?

No, Roquefort cheese is not lactose-free. Like most dairy products, Roquefort cheese contains lactose. However, the aging and fermentation process of Roquefort cheese significantly reduces the lactose content compared to fresh milk. Many lactose-intolerant individuals find that they can tolerate small amounts of Roquefort cheese without experiencing digestive discomfort.

If you have lactose intolerance, it is best to start with a small portion and monitor your body's response.
