AOC stands for "appelation d'origine controlee" and is the French designation for name-control status on a cheese. Makers entitled to use the AOC designation on their cheese must be in compliance with leagl stipulations regarding how and where the cheese is made. So if your French cheese is AOC, that means it's the real deal.
