This week, we're looking at one of France's greatest achievements: cheese! The country boasts more than 1,200 types of cheese and they are at the centre of a huge industry. But as major corporations seek to play fast and loose with the rules surrounding production, how can consumers be sure they are getting the real deal? We give you some advice. Finally, we report on a solution for those whose dietary choices mean traditional cheese is off the menu: vegan cheese!

Thank you so much for this video. Super helpful and well-presented. Your time and effort is most appreciated!

If a "cheese" is made without any dairy product, then is it still "cheese?" Je crois que non.

[@delphzouzou4520]

No, it's not.

[@HammockHavenFarm]

Vegan “cheese” is NOT cheese.

[@kikiKaysie]

It’s called fermented crap!

[@BridgesDontFly]

It's not

[@sang01me]

No, it's not.

[@worldcitizeng6507]

I like my regular cheese 🧀 and I have lots of vegetables in my diet. No need to declare vegan. Has anyone share a dinner table with someone who's vegan? It's very tiring to watch them question the waiter this and that

[@horticasey]

Vegan "cheese" is not cheese.

[@Interestingworld4567]

That's call BS

[@AC-po1qw]

wow!

[@Danielzoz]

If a cheese is AOP, like brie de meaux, can I go and make a cheese with the same methods/ingredients, like you would brie, but in a different place, can I call it "My original Cheese"? And if people like it more can I say its better than Brie de Meaux?

Hello, you are tardy for my classes at this place. Mission House.

Not clear what she means by an AOP being "held" by Lactalis. As I understand it, an AOP is about the region, the breeds of cow and the manufacturing techniques. These cannot be monopilsed, surely? Unless Lactalis has geographically occupied the entire region designated for a particular AOP.

[@danemon8423]

it doesn't mean that it produce every cheeses in this region. Like two producer can do camembert in normandy , and they will both be called aop

[@araucariapasquale1]

@@danemon8423 Yes, but she said "held" which implies exclusivity.

[@danemon8423]

@@araucariapasquale1 well it's maybe an error, or maybe cause they bought all the farms in this region, like the farmers make cheese for the company. Cuase actualy some "industrial" cheeses in france actually just bought farms in some region, so it's aop cheese. But yeah that's maybe an error

Slice the cheese. Never cut!
