The guide to pronunciation says "rock-fort". Is this correct? I would have thought the 't' would be silent, being French.

You're right, the final 't' is silent in french, so the pronunciation is more "rock-for". 88.160.235.219 17:04, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
This article should of mentioned the time of which rouquefort cheese was invented. But since I'm so nice. I will tell you. Roquefort was invented in the year 1070. Galsknowbest ( . ) ( . )
Roquefort is not expensive in France it's rather cheap since the USA apply heavy import tax, thus it must be more expensive on the US market. Ericd
Is Roquefort actually the name of a town in France, after which the cheese was named (like the town of Cheddar in England)? If so, this article should say so. One Wikipedia article is titled "Cheddar", and another is titled "Cheddar cheese". The first article is about the town and the second about the cheese. Michael Hardy 19:46 Jan 16, 2003 (UTC)
Of course Roquefort is a town. In fact there are a lot of towns named Roquefort in France. The "good" one is in the Aveyron département. Ericd
I very much doubt that Roquefort cheese was mentioned by Pliny. Could he have a quote, please. Burschik 12:17, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)
This is a legend reported as a legend. As for Pliny this should be in "Historia naturalis" - Book 28 but I can't read latin. Please verify. Ericd 18:37, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Pliny book XI. I think it's there : "Laus caseo Romae, ubi omnium gentium bona comminus iudicantur, e provinciis Nemausensi praecipua, Lesurae Gabalicoque pagis, sed brevis ac musteo tantum commendatio. duobus Alpes generibus pabula sua adprobant: Delmaticae Docleatem mittunt, Ceutronicae Vatusicum." However I don't read latin. Can someone translate ? Ericd 18:51, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)
I redirected Roquefort to this article and put a redirect disambiguation on top; the disambiguation page as it is only has one other active article, one sentence about the town the cheese is made in. Best go straight to the cheese I thought, most of the links mean to. -- Blorg 21:39, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
"Roquefort is sometimes known as the "King of Cheeses", a distinction that is also used for the Brie de Meaux." And for Blue Stilton (mentionned on it's Wikipedia article), and no doubt for a large number of other cheeses. I don't have an issue with the term being mentionned in reference to Roqeufort, but I fell "a distinction that is also used for the Brie de Meaux." may be better replaced by something like "a phrase also used for a number of other cheeses." 128.232.250.254 23:48, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
