HEALTH & BENEFITS

Roquefort cheese is a good source of calcium, protein and vitamin K2 which are important for bone health. It also contains good bacteria that can aid in digestion. However, it is high in saturated fat and sodium, so it should be consumed in moderation. Whisky, when consumed in moderation, has some potential health benefits such as reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke due to its antioxidant properties.
