CHAUSSEE AUX MOINES 450g - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Chaussée aux Moines earns a European Score of 100 in the uncooked pressed cheeses category, with the breakdown showing 35 for company headquarters, 35 for manufacturing, 15 for distribution, 10 for ingredients, 5 for proximity, and zero for certifications. The fact sheet records origins in France, specifically in Pays de la Loire and the Mayenne department, which supports the strong performance across the company headquarters, manufacturing, and ingredients dimensions. No organic, fair-trade, or protected-designation certification is listed, explaining the absence of any certification contribution.

Within the uncooked pressed cheeses category, this product sits at the 61st percentile among 625 references — a very large category in which outperforming nearly two-thirds of rivals on European provenance represents a solid achievement. Many pressed cheeses in this category are produced by companies with international ownership or sourced from multiple non-European supply chains, so a score of 100 with confirmed French origins stands out.

For the European-minded shopper, a perfect European Score with traceable French regional origins is a clear endorsement. The product's Pays de la Loire and Mayenne origins indicate a geographically specific provenance that goes beyond a generic French label. The certifications dimension is the only area with no contribution: adding organic or other accredited certifications would further strengthen the profile. As it stands, however, this is one of the more European-aligned choices available in a large and competitive cheese category.
