Why are Beaufort loaves concave on the side? After being wrapped in a linen cloth, the cheese is held together by a beech wood ring that gives it that famous shape. The "summer" Beaufort sold from November to May corresponds to milk production from June to October. Produced at an altitude of 500 meters with milk from a single herd, it is called "Beaufort Chalet d'Alpage".
Beaufort has been marked with the European seal AOP (Protected Designation of Origin) since 1968.
The red European AOP seal (appellation d'origine protégée = "protected designation of origin") guarantees the consumer that all production stages take place exclusively in the defined geographical area of the designation, from the production of the milk to the maturing of the cheese.
In France, 45 types of cheese, 3 types of butter and 2 types of cream are labeled with the European seal "AOP".
