Saint Agur - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Saint Agur, produced by Savencia, achieves a perfect European Score of 100 but sits at the 47th percentile within the french blue veined cheeses category, which counts 139 assessed products. This percentile indicates that roughly half of the cheeses in this category match or exceed this score, suggesting strong category-wide European performance. The breakdown is consistent and well-structured: company headquarters and manufacturing each contribute the maximum 35 points, distribution adds 15, and proximity contributes 5. Manufacturing is confirmed in Beauzac, a location in the Auvergne region of France. The ingredients sub-score reaches 10 and origins are declared as France. The certifications sub-score of 0 reflects the absence of organic or protected designation labels, though the product holds a Médaille d'Argent from the Concours Général Agricole and carries a lactose-free claim. For a European-minded shopper, the score confirms that the brand, its ownership structure through Savencia, and its production facility are all embedded within Europe, with traceable French sourcing for the milk. The lack of certification points is a straightforward reflection that this is a conventionally produced cheese without additional third-party environmental or origin-protection accreditation. Within its competitive category, it performs at the median of a group that already trends strongly European.
