Importing Roquefort from France

Can I bring about 5 lbs of French Roquefort cheese back into the US, this December, without breaking any laws? For private use only.
I had to throw mine away in customs, along with some good sausage and a caramel apple.

Googling around suggests that hard cheeses are OK and soft cheeses are a maybe: Roquefort may be in a gray zone and YMMV depending on your particular customs agent. US Customs page on food. Peppy SF Gate article on personal importers. Google may be your friend.
