About

The flavour of Roquefort cheese is unique and cannot be imitated by any other blue cheese. Its sharp and slightly salty taste goes well with something sweet, and here these pretty parsley-coated balls enclose an unexpected seedless grape. Try to get the purply-red raduccio leaves instead of green lettuce as a garnish, because they have just the right faint bitterness and their colour looks wonderful surrounding the bright green and white balls.
