Saint auban 200g - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Netto's Saint Auban is a soft cow's milk cheese earning a perfect European Score of 100. The breakdown awards 35 points each for French company headquarters and manufacturing, 10 for ingredients, 15 for distribution, and 5 for proximity. The certifications sub-score is 0, as the sole label — French Milk — does not qualify under the certifications dimension, though it does communicate a milk origin claim.

Origins are listed as France, consistent with the French Milk label. No manufacturing location is specified beyond the country level. The product falls within the autre fromage ou specialité fromagère à pâte molle de vache category — a broad catch-all for soft cow's milk cheeses that do not fall within a named designation.

Within this category, the product ranks at the 71st percentile across 14 products assessed — a small field where the 71st percentile represents a strong result, meaning it scores higher than 71% of comparable products. For a European-minded shopper, the French origin claim on the label and the company's French base provide straightforward provenance credentials. The absence of certifications is typical for an own-label supermarket product in this category. The French Milk label adds a degree of ingredient origin transparency, even if it does not carry the weight of an independently verified designation. Shoppers looking for a well-positioned own-label French soft cheese will find this product performs creditably within its category.
