The unpretentious, small, round goat's cheese with a sonorous name and a long tradition is now enthroned under the French AOP cheese. You can often find the picodons in different degrees of ripeness or ripened according to the Dieulefit method on a cheese board and select them like a piece of fruit. You have a taste of the steep, rocky ground, the fragrant hay, and something subtle reminiscent of the goatherd's hand.
Picodon has been marked with the European seal AOP (Protected Designation of Origin) since 1983.
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".
