Emmental Français Sans additif - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Entremont's Emmental Français Sans Additif achieves a European Score of 100, driven by a company headquarters contribution of 35, manufacturing at 35, distribution at 15, ingredients at 10, a proximity bonus of 5, and no certification points. The fact sheet records both milk of French origin and manufacturing in France, which directly supports the strong scores across the company, manufacturing, and distribution dimensions. The absence of certification points is notable given that no organic or protected-designation label is recorded for this product, though it does carry an Origine France label alongside the green dot and Triman marks.

Within the grated emmentaler category, this product sits at the 54th percentile among 76 references, meaning it outperforms just over half of its category rivals on the European Score. This mid-range ranking within what is already a domestically dominant category suggests that several competing grated emmentalers also achieve high European scores.

For the European-minded shopper, a score of 100 is the clearest possible signal that the entire value chain — from the dairy company's headquarters to the final product reaching shelves — operates within Europe, and specifically within France. The traceable French milk origin and French manufacturing location provide an added layer of transparency that many supermarket cheeses lack. Shoppers who wish to support French dairy farming and domestic food processing can do so with confidence when selecting this product, even if the certifications dimension leaves some room for improvement.
