Lait frais demi écrémé microfiltré - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Gillot's microfiltered fresh semi-skimmed milk earns a perfect European Score of 100, with every component of the breakdown contributing positively. Company headquarters and manufacturing each award 35 points, ingredients and distribution add 10 and 15 respectively, and both certifications and proximity contribute 5 each. This is one of the more complete profiles in the microfiltered milks category, where certifications — often absent in conventional dairy — here reflect the product's certified organic status, validated through French and European organic labels including AB Agriculture Biologique. Normandy is cited as one of the origins, grounding the milk in one of France's most historically significant dairy regions. Within the microfiltered milks category, this product ranks at the 54th percentile across 13 assessed products, placing it just above the midpoint of a small but competitive field. That ranking reflects a genuinely strong performance, particularly given the modest size of this category where competition is concentrated. For European-minded shoppers, the full certification score alongside the entirely French supply chain makes this a standout option. Organic accreditation signals adherence to stricter farming standards, while the microfiltering process preserves fresh milk character without full pasteurisation-level heat treatment. The proximity score confirms the product travels a reasonable distance from farm to shelf. Taken together, the breakdown reflects a dairy product that keeps its production, ownership, and certification credentials tightly within the European sphere.
