Its origins can be traced back to the 15th century, when Charles VI granted special certification to the cheese producers of the Roquefort region. The modern law was officially enacted in 1919, and a special authority was created to oversee and enforce it.
最早可追溯至 15 世紀，查理六世曾頒發特殊證書給「洛克福爾」地區的乳酪業者，1919 年正式立法，後亦成立專門主管機關來監督執行。
