New Canaan Olive Oil suggestions:
For a traditional Roquefort sauce use any of our Extra Virgin Olive Oils.
For a bolder, more peppery Roquefort sauce we suggest our Shallot Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Garlic Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
For an earthier flavor, try our Garlic Mushroom Extra Virgin Olive Oil or our Roasted Onion Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
