What is Roquefort blue cheese?
Disclosure: I received the Roquefort blue cheese for purposes of reviewing and recipe development. All opinions are my own.
With it's creamy texture and deep perfectly balanced flavors, Roquefort blue cheese is considered the world's greatest blue.
Originating from Combalou in Southern France, this sheep's milk cheese ripens in caves there.
The blue mold it is known for grows naturally as it ripens. Roquefort blue cheese is a heavenly flavored and beautifully textured cheese that has sharp, sweet, peppery and sometimes quite spicy notes making it the perfect accompaniment to Buffalo Chicken Tacos!

Decorations for a taco party
Anytime I serve tacos is a good time for a taco party! But really, tacos are the best party food and I love the festive atmosphere whenever you serve tacos.
Start with hanging this Taco About A Party Banner (this makes me crack up every time!), add a colorful Serepe Plastic Tablecloth, or this set of hand woven serape table runners in fextive colors (or both!) and these adorable Fiesta Paper Striped Party Straws with Tacos, Sombreros and more on them.
A taco serving plate with all the sections is an ideal way to serve all your favorite toppings and be sure to don your let's taco about it t-shirt (again, cracking up here!) and let the fiesta begin!
