This is a beautifully and impeccably hand drawn map with colorful presentation of all the AOP (Appellation d’Origine Protégée —Protected Designation of Origin) cheeses of France. Complete and precise, French cheesemakers use it to present their dairy products to their customers! Exploring the map, where each of the 46 cheeses benefiting from an AOP designation is produced is prominently displayed: Fourme d'Ambert, Livarot, Ossau-Iraty, Cantal, Bleu d'Auvergne, etc. With the coordination of specific colors to the different cheeses, you will know if the cheese is made from cow's, goat's or sheep's milk. Finally, by the logo in front of each cheese, you can determine the cheese family with which it is associated (blue-veined cheese, soft flowery crust, soft cheese with washed rind, etc.). This Map of French Cheese AOP is very detailed and was drawn the old-fashioned way. It is crafted from four-color offset presses, produced by a Breton printing company. Moreover, the printing uses beautiful inks, on quality thick matte paper. A cheese map of this quality and gorgeous detail is ideal for the French cheese lover to decorate their home, cheesemongers wishing to present their offerings in a store, or for a restaurateur to display on their walls. On the map are numerous French geography details to help you travel past the course of the rivers, as well as its cities, lakes, islands, and maritime bays adding a rich topographical flavor of France overall. This wine map was created in vintage style, inspired by the design of old French school maps, a reference to the Deyrolles or Vidal-Lablache educational maps that were found in French primary schools in the previous century. 50x70 cm size 190g quality matte paper can be displayed framed or unframed shipped in cardboard postal tube MADE IN FRANCE (RENNES, BRITTANY)
