The extraordinary richness of French cheese making is rooted in their culture, history, and geography. Ancient breeds of cows, sheep and goats graze freely in the foothills and valleys on grasses indigenous to their region producing some of the best milk in the world and giving each cheese the distinct flavor of that particular area. The French are very protective of their artisan cheeses designating a special seal of authenticity under strict government control to only the best and unique to a particular region. This seal, the Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée or "A.O.C." is similar to the one you will find on their wines, controlling the name that is given to cheeses and where, when, and how a cheese can be produced. The sheer number of high quality, flavorful cheeses is unparalleled, with over 500 different varieties produced in France and savored around the world.
