Beurre de baratte - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Carrefour's Beurre de Baratte, sold under the Reflets de France label, is a French churned butter achieving a perfect European Score of 100. The breakdown covers all five active dimensions at maximum: company headquarters 35, manufacturing 35, ingredients 10, distribution 15, and proximity 5. Certifications scores 0 as no organic or equivalent label is present on this product.

The ingredient origin is listed as France and Brittany, confirming that the cream used in production comes from French dairy farming. The Reflets de France label is a Carrefour range associated with French regional products, though it does not constitute a third-party certified designation and therefore does not contribute to the certifications score. The company is French-headquartered, and the tightly French supply chain is consistent across all available data points.

In the beurres-de-baratte category, this product outscores 54% of the 24 products assessed, placing it just above the midpoint. For a European-minded shopper, the score confirms a product rooted entirely in French dairy farming and production, with Breton cream at its core. The moderate percentile reflects a category where several artisanal and organic churned butters also achieve high European scores. The addition of an organic certification would provide the most direct route to improving the product's relative standing and unlocking the remaining 5 certifications points.
