France has temporarily relaxed rules for making some of its best-known cheeses after the summer drought drastically reduced the amount of grass available to feed milk herds.
Government decrees to grant dispensations to manufacturers of Abondance, Beaufort and Comté cheeses - which come from mountains in eastern France - appeared on Wednesday.
Several other cheeses are expected to receive similar waivers, allowing farmers to feed livestock with grass and hay brought in from outside their strict geographical zone.
These include Cantal, Bleu d'Auvergne, Fourme d'Ambert, Bleu du Vercors-Sassenage, Reblochon and the goats cheese Rocamadour.
The National Institute for Origin and Quality (INAO), which regulates France's labels of origin, has also approved temporary changes to the rules for other protected produce because of the effects of the summer heat.
Products that will benefit include some types of Calvados and cider from Normandy, Crémant d'Alsace fizzy wine, lamb from Poitou-Charentes, and Reine-Claude plums.

C’est Fromage!
Blessed are the CheeseMakers.
It’s like those French have a different word for everything.
But they have not relaxed surrender monkey regulations!
How can anyone govern a nation that has two hundred and forty-six different kinds of cheese?

I would be just fine without any of the French cheeses.
If someone serves it I’ll eat it but it’s not what I ever choose.
English, Italian, Swiss, German.. mmm.
The French ones seem to be way down on my list.
Even French onion soup is best with Gruyère or some other non-French cheese.
Ship it!
Don’t forget Dutch Gouda!
I agree that the Italians are top notch:
Mozzarella
Provolone
Asiago
Parmesan
Romano
