Roquefort au lait cru de brebis AOP - 150g - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

This Roquefort au lait cru de brebis AOP, sold under the U brand, is manufactured in Roquefort sur Soulzon, France — the only location where genuine Roquefort may be produced under its Protected Designation of Origin rules. It achieves a perfect score of 100, with the breakdown awarding full marks for company headquarters and manufacturing in France, a maximum ingredients score of 10, the full distribution score, and 5 certification points. The PDO label is the defining certification here, alongside French milk and made-in-France designations.

At the 41st percentile among 58 products in the roquefort cheeses category, this product sits in the lower half of its peer group. Given that all genuine Roqueforts must by definition be produced in the same location and from the same type of milk, differentiation within the category depends heavily on factors such as additional certifications, affinage details, or further quality marks — none of which are present here beyond the PDO.

For consumers seeking a straightforward, PDO-certified Roquefort produced from raw sheep's milk at the traditional site, this product delivers authentic regional credentials at a mainstream retail price point. Its raw milk character and protected status ensure it meets the classic definition of Roquefort, making it a reliable choice for those prioritising authenticity over premium certification overlays.
