Pâte à tartiner 40% noisettes du Lot-et-Garonne et cacao - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Lucien Georgelin's hazelnut and cocoa spread earns a perfect score of 100, with every component of the European scoring framework contributing positively. Company headquarters accounts for 35 points, manufacturing at the Virazeil site in Lot-et-Garonne adds 35, ingredients contribute 10, distribution 15, certifications 5, and proximity a further 5. The origins data confirms that hazelnuts come from Lot-et-Garonne and from the broader Nouvelle Aquitaine region of France, alongside some ingredients sourced from both within and outside the European Union.

The product carries an impressive cluster of labels including organic, EU organic, AB Agriculture Biologique, made in France, no palm oil, and Triman, which explains why the certifications dimension reaches its maximum contribution. Within the cocoa and hazelnuts spreads category, this product scores higher than 79% of the 153 products assessed, a strong percentile that reflects both the domestic production and the certified organic credentials.

For a European-focused shopper, this spread stands out not only because headquarters and manufacturing are entirely French but also because a meaningful proportion of the key ingredient — hazelnuts — is traceable to a specific French department. The no-palm-oil declaration and the organic certification reinforce its positioning as a product with transparent sourcing. The only caveat is that some ingredients fall outside the European Union, which is reflected honestly in the labelling and origins data rather than obscured.
