Being unable to sleep well (Patty was in the UK too long), I decided to make a list of all the French cheeses. I'm not sure I have them all, but right now I have 203 cheese families - of which I have only had 8%.I've decided to focus efforts on the AOC (Appelation d'Origine Controlee) cheeses. If you remember the story of champagne . . . even though there are lots of sparkling wine, only the bottles made in the Champagne region of France can be called 'Champagne'. Similar to the cheeses . . . only the cheese made in a specific region of France in a specific way can be called Roquefort cheese. It's a bit snobby, I know - but at least this way, I know what I'm eating a little better.
I'll keep you posted on progress
