If Vercors had not become a popular tourist destination, what would have become of this cheese? He would probably have disappeared. A handful of producers have committed to continue its unusual production: the morning milk is mixed with the milk from the previous evening, which has already been heated and then cooled. During the maturation, the blue mold develops, which pervades the dough.
Bleu du Vercors-Sassenage has been awarded the European AOP (Protected Designation of Origin) seal since 1998.
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".
