    You’re talking about AOP (Appelation d’Origine Protégée / Protected Origin Naming). It makes senses because protected names are place names. You can’t call any sparkling wine “champagne”. It has to come from Champagne. However, you can call your raw milk cheese “faisselle” even if it wasn’t made in Rians, as faisselle isn’t a place.

      By that logic, you should object to cheese being labelled as “cheddar” cheese, because that’s a place too and you’ve almost certainly never seen cheese which came from there.

      It’s a stupid rule
