President emmental coeur de meule 400g - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Président's Emmental Cœur de Meule achieves the maximum European Score of 100, placing it above 51% of the 77 products in the French emmentaler category — a position at the median of a competitive segment. The score breakdown shows full marks for company headquarters at 35, manufacturing at 35, and ingredients at 10, with distribution scoring 15 and proximity 5. The certifications score is 0, as the labels recorded — French Milk, Made in France, Green Dot, and Eco Emballages — relate to provenance claims and packaging responsibility rather than formal quality certifications within the scoring framework. Manufacturing is extensively documented across multiple facilities in the Pays de la Loire region, with specific reference to the Société Fromagère de Bouvron in Loire-Atlantique and the Société Fromagère de Charchigné in Mayenne — an unusual level of supply chain transparency for a large-scale branded product. Origins are listed as France. For a European-minded shopper, this Emmental offers well-documented French dairy provenance and clearly identified French manufacturing locations. Président is part of the Lactalis group, a French multinational, and the company headquarters score of 35 reflects that European base. The median percentile within a large category suggests that many competing products share similar structural profiles. The absence of PDO or organic certification is the primary factor distinguishing this product from higher-percentile peers.
