President emmental coeur de meule 500g - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Président Emmental Coeur de Meule from Lactalis achieves a perfect European Score of 100. Headquarters and manufacturing each score the maximum 35 points, with production split across two Lactalis facilities in Loire-Atlantique and Mayenne, both within the Pays de la Loire region. Ingredients score 10, distribution 15, proximity 5, and certifications 0. No organic or PDO certification applies to this grated emmental, which is consistent with the mainstream industrial positioning of the Président brand within Lactalis.

The Coeur de Meule designation refers to the central section of the cheese wheel, typically associated with a more developed flavour profile and consistent texture for grating applications. The High in Calcium and Green Dot labels are the only additional on-pack claims, reflecting nutritional positioning and packaging responsibility respectively.

Within the grated emmentaler category, this product ranks at the 54th percentile across 76 products — placing it in the upper half of a sizeable category. For a European-minded shopper, the profile is one of a large French dairy group with domestic, multi-site production concentrated in western France. The supply chain is coherent: French milk processed in France into a finished French-branded product distributed domestically. The absence of third-party certifications means the score rests entirely on company headquarters, manufacturing geography, and ingredient origins — all of which are solidly European — rather than on external quality or sustainability accreditation.
