En Filière Fromagère AOP, Les Conditions De Production Dans Les Cahiers Des Charges Et Leurs Conséquences Pour Les Exploitations A
Fourrages (2009) 199, 311-329 En filière fromagère AOP, les conditions de production dans les cahiers des charges et leurs conséquences pour les exploitations A. Farruggia1, P. Parguel2, S. Hulin3, J.-L. Reuillon4, D. Pomiès1, B. Baumont5, G. Risoud6, A. Hauwuy7, P. Veysset1, B. Martin1 Une des questions fondamentales posée aux AOP est le lien entre le produit et son milieu. Pour les fromages, ce lien passe par lʼali- mentation du troupeau laitier et donc par un questionnement sur les conditions globales de production du lait. RÉSUMÉ Les filières fromagères optent pour une approche systémique des condi- tions de production laitière qui intègre des données scientifiques et des données de bon sens. La définition de ces conditions repose sur la capaci- té des professionnels des filières à assurer collectivement une lecture sélective de lʼhistoire du produit et de sa production. Les filières AOP pro- posent ainsi aux producteurs des parcours techniques originaux présentant parfois des risques techniques. Lʼexamen des conditions de production décrites dans les 32 cahiers des charges révisés des filières fromagères au lait de vache, de brebis ou de chèvre souligne la convergence des règles choisies et une affirmation de la place de lʼherbe dans les systèmes fourra- gers. Trois filières sont ensuite analysées dans le détail. MOTS CLÉS Alpes, aspect économique, autonomie, bovin, caprin, complémentation, foin, fourrage, Massif central, ovin, prairie, production laitière, qualité des produits, surface fourragère, système fourrager. KEY-WORDS Alps, cattle, dairying, economic aspect, feed supplementation, forage, forage area, forage sys- tem, goats, grassland, hay, Massif central, product quality, self-sufficiency, sheep.

The Cheeses of France
HOMMAGE À FROMAGE: THE CHEESES OF FRANCE Curt Wittenberg e-mail: [email protected] Queso Diego August 18, 2015 Chèvre… Speaking of Chèvre…..let’s have our first sample: HOMEMADE Fresh Chèvre with Homegrown Figs Picture of Chèvre • French chèvre is thought to have been developed in the Loire Valley during the 8th century but arose at least 1000 years earlier in other regions. • Goat cheese seems less rich, despite a similar fat content, and is more tart than cow’s milk cheese due to the abundance of short chain fatty acids. • Ubiquitous in France and includes many AOC protected varieties (more later). There is more to French Cheese than an aged Chèvre! Blue Cheese Blooming-Rind Cheese Washed-Rind Goat’s Milk Cheese Cheese Where will we go from here? 1. The history of French cheese 2. Regionality in French cheese (AOC) 3. French cheese varieties 4. Some examples and recipes 5. Sources for cheese and information The Beginnings of French Cheese • The earliest solid evidence of cheesemaking was found in Poland from 5500 BCE but likely originated around 6000 BCE. • Cheesemaking and dairying was practiced by the Sumerians (2000-1000 BCE) and appears in the writings of the Greek philosopher Etricus (ca. 300 BCE) and Pliny the Elder (ca. 20 CE, well before the development of his namesake IPA). • The Romans are credited with the spread of commercial cheesemaking throughout Europe and Britain. • Cheese varieties multiplied dramatically during the middle ages and became a staple in many areas of Europe including France. What makes French cheese French? Regionality of French Cheese The Evolution of French Cheese • The French government recognized that the distinctive nature of regional cheeses reflects both technique and terroir. -
Montbeliarde : Bred for the French Cheese Industry
Montbeliarde : Bred for the French cheese Industry The main use of milk in France is cheese making and France is recognized widely and internationally for its high quality and diversity of cheeses. It looks like a detail but the cheese industry allowed a lot of mountain areas to sustain economically thanks to their pastures and cows herds. Areas like Alps, Jura, Pyrenees, Massif Central and Vosges are renowned for their specific cheeses that keep local activities in hard access regions. More recently, changes that are affecting the dairy industry lead to more added value products such as cheese, which gives new opportunities for that industry. To achieve better economic efficiency, dairy farmers of the Montbeliarde area (Central east of France) organized themselves for decades around local cooperatives running small cheese plants called “Fruitières”. There, dairy farmers sell cheese instead of milk and developed strategies to get a better product, increasing cheese yield (on the cow side) and increasing the quality and flavour of cheese (process side). All this led to a maximum of added value and made “Comte” cheese the N°1 high quality cheese in all France for years (45.000 tons/year). The genetic side is important and several scientific studies demonstrated it. The cheese process depends a lot on both bacteriological and organoleptical milk quality. A- Factors influencing Cheese Yield 1-Protein content Cheese Yield is proportional to milk % of protein up to 3,8%. Above that figure, cheese yield doesn’t increase significatively. 2-Casein type. Casein is the principal protein in milk. During the cheese making process, casein solidifies, curdles or coagulates into cheese through the action of rennet. -

ANNEXE 2 : Triple Performance Et AOP
Groupe Prospective ANNEXE 2 : Triple performance et AOP Janvier 2016 L’approche de la triple performance concernant les productions sous SIQO est intéressante à plusieurs titres. Il s’agit en premier lieu d’évaluer en quoi la généralisation possible de démarches liées aux approches de développement durable est un enjeu. Est-ce une opportunité, au sens où les filières définies comme filières de qualité intègreraient déjà les caractéristiques du développement durable à travers la valorisation des ressources locales par exemple ? Est-ce une menace si elle se traduit par une somme de préconisations pouvant diluer les spécificités des cahiers des charges d’appellation, ou remettre en cause leur performance économique ? L’intérêt est également méthodologique. Les SIQO, par leurs référentiels définis à l’échelle des zones d’appellation et devant être respectés à l’échelle des exploitations, sont un cas de figure illustratif des démarches pouvant mettre en jeu la triple performance, articulant mode collectif de définition des objectifs et des résultats à atteindre, et prise en compte individuelle de ces objectifs. Après l’analyse et la comparaison des cahiers des charges de plusieurs productions sous SIQO alpines, nous tenterons de mettre en lumière des clés de lecture de la triple performance dans les aires et exploitations concernées. Questions-clés L’ensemble des appellations font référence à la valorisation des ressources locales, considérées à l’échelle de l’aire géographique. La plus-value économique des produits est souvent également constatée, ainsi que l’intégration de cette plus-value localement (en termes d’emplois et de valeur ajoutée) lorsque les filières locales sont prégnantes. -

Camembert and Brie
Dairy Foods Consulting Westminster Artisan Cheesemaking Peter Dixon, MS Artisan Cheesemaker Camembert and Brie Although similarities occur in the way these cheeses are made and ripened, Camembert originated in Normandy and Brie in the Ile-de-France, a region surrounding Paris. Another difference between Brie and Camembert is the size. Brie is made in one-kilo 9” diameter (2.2-2.5 lb.) and Grand 14.5” diameter (5-6 lb.) wheels; Camembert is made in a 4” diameter (250 gram or 8.5 oz.) disc. The thickness of both is approx. 1.25“. In the traditional methods of making of these cheeses, raw milk is used and the cheeses are aged a minimum of 21 days before sale. The well known raw milk Brie cheeses are Brie de Melun and Brie de Meaux. The Camembert de Normandie should have “au lait cru” and “moule a la louche” displayed on the label to be authentically made from raw milk. When the curd is ladled by hand, it drains for a longer time, up to 48 hours, before the cheeses can be removed from the forms. Hand salting with a coarse flake salt is required. These three cheeses are designated as A.O.C. so the names are protected and the entire processes of making the cheeses follows strict guidelines. This recipe was developed by the French cheesemakers that I worked with from 1986-1987. They made the A.O.C. Brie de Meaux and Brie de Melun but adapted this recipe to provide a more modern approach for making these traditional cheeses from pasteurized milk. -
