It is unclear what cheese is the oldest made in France. The Latin historian Pline the Old (23-79 AD) talks of an unnamed French cheese from the Nimes region, saying it is much in fashion in Rome. He also speaks of the Cantal cheese.

Roquefort makers claim he also speaks of cheese from the Lozère region, suggesting that he had in mind the Roquefort, a favorite cheese for Charlemagne.
