No More AOC Labels on French Cheese?
Did you know that there are more than 500 French cheeses? (No, that’s not a typo – I said over 500!) Which means that you could try almost 2 different cheeses every day for a year – and not eat the same cheeses twice! Isn’t that amazing? You should see the grocery stores – at our local Carrfour – think a Smith’s, Albertson’s or Walmart – and imagine two aisles – that run from the front of the store to the back – full of cheeses – plus a delicatessen that also offers up more specialized cheeses! It’s an amazing thing to behold, let me tell you! So why was I shocked to discover that some of my favorite cheeses were about to lose their very special AOC label?
