Roquefort
This term refers to a specific protected designation of origin (PDO) cheese. Because it is a proper noun derived from the town of Roquefort-sur-Soulzon, it is typically capitalized in formal writing, though it may appear in lowercase when used generically in culinary contexts.
As a mass noun referring to a type of food, it is generally treated as uncountable. One does not typically refer to "three roqueforts" unless referring to three distinct wheels or specific varieties of the cheese, in which case a partitive like "a piece of" or "a wedge of" is used.
