French, Roquefort e.g

France is home to some of the world’s most iconic and protected cheeses, with over 50 Appellation d’Origine Protégée (AOP/PDO) and Indication Géographique Protégée (IGP) cheeses that guarantee authenticity, quality, and regional heritage. From the nutty, crystalline Comté AOP of the Jura Mountains to the rich, pungent Époisses AOP of Burgundy and the creamy, delicate Crottin de Chavignol AOP from the Loire Valley, each French cheese tells a unique story of tradition, terroir, and artisanal craftsmanship.

Protected under strict European regulations, AOP (PDO - Protected Designation of Origin) cheeses must be produced, aged, and crafted within a defined region using time-honoured techniques to retain their original character and deep-rooted authenticity. Similarly, IGP (PGI - Protected Geographical Indication) cheeses, such as Tomme des Pyrénées IGP, are recognised for their strong regional identity and historical cheesemaking methods, offering exceptional quality with more flexibility in production.

Whether you're searching for bold washed-rind cheeses like Munster AOP and Maroilles AOP, luxuriously creamy varieties like Brie de Meaux AOP and Saint-Nectaire AOP, or robust blue cheeses such as Roquefort AOP and Fourme d’Ambert AOP, France’s protected cheeses provide unrivalled depth of flavour and heritage.

At Cheesemongery.com, we specialise in sourcing only authentic, protected French cheeses, ensuring you receive the highest quality, fully traceable cheeses directly from France’s most renowned cheesemakers.
