Produced in the Cantal mountains, AOP Salers is the only 100% farmhouse cheese made exclusively with milk from grazing cows from April 15th to November 15th. Its production takes place in a container made of wood, the so-called "Gerle". This creates a special ecosystem that leads to the subtle taste.
Salers has been labeled with the European AOP (Protected Designation of Origin) seal since 1961.
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".
