Roquefort Bio - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Société's organic Roquefort earns a perfect score of 100, combining the full 35 points each for company headquarters and manufacturing with an excellent 10 for ingredients, all traced to France — specifically the Aveyron region and the historic caves of Roquefort-sur-Soulzon. Distribution contributes its full 15 points, and certifications add 5, supported by certified organic status and the product's Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) — one of France's most prestigious geographical quality markers for cheese.

The proximity score of 5 reflects production firmly rooted in Occitania, a region intrinsically linked to Roquefort's identity. The combination of organic certification and PDO status is relatively rare and signals a product that meets both the highest geographical authenticity standards and rigorous organic farming requirements. The affinage and conditioning facility is identified within the data as being located in Roquefort-sur-Soulzon itself, confirming complete production integrity within the appellation zone.

Despite these strong credentials, the product sits at the 41st percentile among 58 Roquefort cheeses — below the category median. This is likely because many competing Roquefort products also hold PDO status, and the category is inherently geographically concentrated, levelling the playing field. For consumers who specifically seek an organic Roquefort with full provenance transparency, this product represents one of the more principled choices available in the segment.
