In a move that's either sheer genius or...a sign of the Apocalypse, McDonald's France is giving their cheeseburgers a serious makeover. From February 15th through March 27th, customers will be able to get their burgers on a baguette, with a choice of four different French cheeses--three of which are prestigious Protected Designation of Origin (PDO; formerly known in France as Appellation d'origine contrôlée, or AOC) products. These cheeses are under strict production guidelines and can only be made within a specific area in their region of origin. Ooh la la! According to culture: the word on cheese, the cheese selection consists of Cantal, a buttery alpine style; Fourme d'Ambert, a creamy, spicy blue; Saint-Nectaire, an earthy semi-soft number, and "generic" chèvre, aka fresh goat cheese.
