Revue d'économie régionale et urbaine, 2012, vol. décembre, issue 5, 831-853

Abstract: This work is an approach to the potential valorization of amenities via food products. Are food products made in a region with amenities more valuable than the ones coming from a less attractive setting ? Our results come from an experiment where the values of two cheeses from two distinct areas in the French Alps are compared. They indicate that the amenities of a region are part of the affective value of the product but impact economic value only under specific conditions. Three conditions are particularly important : a well-defined territory with a strong identity, amenities that are particularly appreciated by the consumers and perceived congruence between the product and the territory.
