AOC regulations

AOC (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée) regulations are rules established in France to protect the quality and origin of certain wines, cheeses, and other products. They specify where the product can be made, how it should be produced, and certain standards to ensure authenticity and tradition. This helps consumers trust that what's labeled with an AOC truly comes from a specific region and meets quality standards. Essentially, AOC regulations maintain the reputation and integrity of regional products by ensuring consistent methods and authentic origins.
