Its European Score of 100 places it above 65% of products in the Selles-sur-Cher category, which contains 31 products.

The score breakdown is complete across all dimensions. Company headquarters and manufacturing each contribute 35, confirming full European ownership and domestic French production. Distribution adds 15, ingredients 10, proximity 5, and certifications the full 5 — driven by the PDO designation. Every component of the scoring framework contributes at its maximum level.

For a European-minded shopper, the PDO label provides the strongest available provenance guarantee. Selles-sur-Cher is a legally protected appellation: the cheese must be produced from goat's milk in the defined Loire Valley zone according to a strictly regulated set of traditional methods. The specific manufacturing address at the Fromagerie d'Anjouin, located within the correct geographical zone, confirms authentic compliance with these requirements. The Casino Ça Vient d'Ici branding further reinforces a regional identity narrative aligned with the appellation's geographical logic. A 65th percentile ranking in a category of 31 products means this product performs above average for European credentials among its peers, in a segment where PDO compliance is broadly expected but where the strength of associated supply chain documentation can still differentiate products.
