AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This old cheese label comes from the Le Gall brand, established in Quimper (Finistère), and concerns an organic Camembert cheese weighing 250 g, with 45% fat content, under the name "Grandeur Nature". The visible side features a circular design with a green border on a white background, adorned with a colorful visual representing a stylized yellow and blue motif with a touch of pink, evoking a sun or abstract nature.

The label includes several notable inscriptions: in the upper left, the "AB" (organic farming) logo and the mention "produit de l’agriculture biologique – Décret du 10 Mars 1981" (product of organic farming – Decree of March 10, 1981), certifying production in compliance with French organic specifications. The name "grandeur nature" appears in blue and yellow printed letters, centered above the illustration. In the lower left, the brand "le gall" and the mention "29556 QUIMPER" are printed in blue, accompanied by a stylized character.

At the bottom of the label are the composition "camembert 45% de matière grasse" (Camembert 45% fat content), the place of manufacture "fabriqué en MAYENNE 53 M" (made in MAYENNE 53 M), as well as control and traceability information (AB 004 control, 16360 CHANTILLIAC). The mention "à consommer de préférence avant le :" (best before:) precedes a blank space, typical of new, unused labels (deadstock). A barcode and the net weight "250 g" are present on the right.

The overall design reflects a graphic style typical of the 1980s to 1990s, with a clear layout, vivid colors, and the early use of the AB label. The general appearance of the label, unfolded and without signs of use, confirms its deadstock conservation status.

The edges are clean, with no tears or visible creases on the displayed side. No defects, stains, or significant alterations are observable on the printed surface. The label thus retains its original freshness, with vibrant colors and perfectly legible text.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. New old stock label (deadstock), with no visible signs of use on the photographed side.

Did you know? The AB (Organic Farming) label was officially created in France in 1985, but the decree cited on this label (March 10, 1981) refers to one of the first regulatory frameworks for products from organic farming. Le Gall, a company founded in Quimper, is renowned for its traditional cheeses and its early commitment to organic.
