Fromage affiné au lait de chèvre pasteurisé - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Mélusine's aged pasteurised goat's cheese earns a European Score of 100, with a breakdown of 35 points each for headquarters and manufacturing, 10 for ingredients, 15 for distribution, 0 for certifications, and 5 for proximity. Manufacturing is confirmed in both Belgium and France, and the company's European headquarters contribute the full headquarters score. A vegetarian label is noted. The certifications dimension yields no points, as no European quality certification marks are recorded. It is also noted that a data discrepancy on the label has been flagged. Within the rulo de cabra category, this product sits at the 46th percentile across 35 references, meaning it is outscored by a majority of products in that segment. For a European-minded shopper, the 100 headline score signals that the brand and production are European, but the 46th-percentile category position indicates that competitors in the same segment frequently offer stronger European footprint profiles — typically through the addition of certification marks or more specific ingredient origin declarations. The noted label data concern introduces a degree of uncertainty about some declared product attributes. Shoppers seeking the most highly ranked European options within the goat's cheese category would benefit from comparing alternatives that carry organic or PDO certifications, which would add certification points and potentially lift the category ranking.
