AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This listing is for an antique, circular cheese label, for Bonneterre brand camembert. The label features graphics characteristic of late 20th-century French production, with a dominant beige and green details. In the center is an illustration of a rustic milk jug with a cheese mold, set against a grassy background, evoking traditional artisanal dairy farming.

The main inscription "camembert" appears in thick, clearly legible black letters on the upper part. The label indicates a fat content of 45% and states that the cheese is made in Mayenne from organic milk. Several official mentions are present, including the AB logo, the approval of March 10, 1981, and ECOCERT Toulouse certification. The net weight of 250 g is indicated in bold characters, as is the SEPRAB certification and the mention "Fabriqué par un adhérent SEPRAB 94538 Rungis" (Made by a SEPRAB member 94538 Rungis) around the edge.

The Bonneterre brand is highlighted with its distinctive logo at the bottom of the label, accompanied by a stylized red flower. The overall design, typography, and illustration show a retro style consistent with French organic cheese production of the late 20th century. The label is well preserved, with no major visible defects on the presented side.

This type of antique cheese label was intended to adorn camembert boxes and is now a popular decorative item for its authenticity and vintage aesthetic. The colors have remained vibrant, and the graphics are precisely reproduced, with no noticeable signs of wear on the visible part.

Condition

Did you know? French cheese labels, which appeared at the end of the 19th century, served to differentiate producers and promote the regional origins of cheese. Bonneterre, a French organic pioneer, was founded in 1963 and largely contributed to the growth of organic farming in France.
