When we launched the European Score, we knew that reaching a perfect 100 would be an uphill battle for most modern brands. In a world of globalized supply chains, finding a product where the company headquarters, the manufacturing plant, and every single ingredient originate from within Europe is rare.

However, "rare" does not mean "impossible."

After analyzing tens of thousands of items in our database, we have identified a select group of Hidden Gems. These are products that represent the pinnacle of European industrial sovereignty. They don't just "assemble" in Europe; they are born and bred here.

Which brands have the largest footprint in European supermarkets? And more importantly, how strong is their commitment to European origin? We dived into our database of over 100,000 products to find out.

This analysis reveals two different kinds of leaders: the titans of volume that dominate our shelves, and the champions of quality who prioritize local sourcing and manufacturing above all else. The contrast between these two groups tells the real story of the European retail landscape.
