The re- putation of this cheese extends back in- â- lo dim antiquity, und Pliny mentions it in his writings. It is uiade chiefly from tbe milk of I^arxad goats and shee,) un;l in (he records in France it \» stated that in the year Idtiti -.i5U.U0O sheep and goats out of a fUK-k of 4UU,- G03 gave enough milk for tbe making of 7 150,liUU poun<l8 of cheese. In tbe iiiHuufacture of' Hoquefort cheese tbe sheep and goals are milked iu the evening after their return froiu the iiustures aud after they have been allowed to rest for an hour or so. The evening's milk is healed altnost to tbe boiling point and then set aside. In the morning it is skimmed, heated to ninety-eight degrees and mixed with th" morning's mifk for coagulation, Ibe curd is well kneaded with the hands and pree.sed in layers into moulds with perforated bottoms. A thi» layer of mouldy bread is put between each lay- er of curd. The object of this is to hasten the"ripening" of lUe cheese by suj)plyiiig the germs of the green mould |ie«'uli«r to cheese. The bread used for this purpoee is made liefore the preced- ing Christmns of about equal parts of summer und winter liarley with con- sideiable sour dough und some vine- gar. When mouldy enough it is ground and sifted, moistened with water und kept from the air until wanted in (he ta.king of the eht-e-se. The curd remains in the mouItU for three or four days, after w hi:'h thw cheeses are w rapi>ed in linen cloth and put to dry. They are allowed to te- nia in in the drying rooms three or four daysi Then they are taken to the market in HiHiueforl where they are sold \o the different makers of Ittquefort cbee.se.
