Bonjour

1- What kind of food/meals would be called "appellation d'origine contrôlée"?

   At the very beginning, AOC was created to protect French wines only. Now, it's for meats, dairy products, mainly cheese, some fruits and vegetables, olive oil, honey But those last ones are AOP "appellation d'origine protégée" and concerns all the European community. AOC is only given to French wines. AOC and AOP are quite the same except that AOP concern all European community and AOC only France.

2- What appellation d'origine contrôlée means ?

  It's a label of quality which protects products made in a precise geographic area with its own knowledge of making (le savoir-faire). It was created in 1935 to protect French wines and fight against fraud.

3- What requirements must be met for the food to qualify for its appellation d'origine contrôlée ?

 All the stages of the production must be made with this "savoir-faire" (knowledge, know-how..) in a particular geographic area which gives to the product all its qualities.

I did my best to explain. I'm not sure that your teachers will make a difference between AOP and AOC. The AOP began  in 1992 (for the european legislation) and is obligatory since 2012, to be clearer to the consumers. It concerns all products of  European community and only AOP can be wrtitten on these, except and only  for French wines which may keep the sign "AOC"

hope this helps ☺☺☺

this commercial passage is a real success. all the shops are great! there is a small biocoop to out with quality organic produce, a well-known pastry chef, a wine seller, an italian brasserie offering midday meals on a superb terrace where the dishes are plentiful, the food is quality, the ice creams are made by the owner early in the morning and a very pretty bookshop located in a pleasant and timeless setting. the highlights are relevant and well presented, we feel a real expertise on the part of the booksellers and not just a desire the shelves are filled with beautiful things for young and old.at the top and very lively.you wouldn't think you were in strasbourg.an ideal place to spend delicious moments around a good coffee, a typical italian dish, a trendy pastry while reading a good book bought in the bookstore.
