Le cabrou 180g - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Paturages' Le Cabrou goat cheese achieves the maximum European Score of 100, placing it above 60% of the 480 products in the goat cheeses category — one of the largest categories in the dataset, making this a notably competitive ranking context. 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 no formal quality certification beyond the Green Dot packaging mark is recorded; the Made in France label attests to manufacturing origin but does not trigger the certifications sub-score. Origins are listed as France, and manufacturing is confirmed in France, providing a consistent domestic profile. A Nutriscore grade of D is noted, reflecting nutritional composition; this does not affect the European Score, which evaluates provenance and production criteria rather than dietary metrics. For a European-minded shopper, this cheese offers straightforward French provenance throughout — French milk, French manufacturing, and a French brand — without additional certification layers. The 60th percentile within a very large category of 480 products is a solid above-median result. The absence of PDO, organic, or equivalent certification means the product does not benefit from those additional points, distinguishing it from higher-percentile peers in this diverse and competitive segment.
