Fromage à raclette Classique & Fumée - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Richesmonts' Fromage à Raclette Classique et Fumée, sold under the CF&R brand, achieves a European Score of 100 with a breakdown of 35 for company headquarters, 35 for manufacturing confirmed in France, 15 for distribution, 5 for proximity, 10 for ingredients, and zero for certifications. The product carries a Made in France label and is described as sourcing milk from France, though no PDO or organic certification is present.

In the raclette category, this product sits at the 53rd percentile among 87 assessed products, placing it just above the midpoint in a large and competitive segment. Raclette is one of France's most widely consumed melting cheeses, and the category includes both certified and uncertified producers.

For European-minded shoppers, this product's score rests on a straightforward French provenance chain: a European company, French manufacturing, and domestically sourced milk all contribute to a clean and traceable supply chain. The absence of any protected designation of origin means it lacks the regulatory anchor that some competing raclette cheeses carry, which explains its mid-table percentile despite a perfect score. Shoppers who prioritise French production and the Made in France assurance will find this a dependable option. Those who additionally seek PDO or organic certification to reinforce their purchasing decision may wish to compare alternatives within the category's upper percentile range, where such credentials are more prevalent.
