Saint Agur - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Saint Agur blue cheese, produced by Savencia, achieves a perfect score of 100. Company headquarters and manufacturing each reach their maximum of 35 points, reflecting the brand's French identity and domestic production. The ingredients dimension earns 10 points, with milk explicitly traced to French origin. Distribution earns its full 15 points, appropriate for a nationally and internationally distributed cheese brand, and the proximity score of 5 confirms production within France.

The product carries several notable quality declarations: no preservatives, a source of proteins, high in calcium, and high in proteins — claims that speak to the naturally rich nutritional profile of a full-fat blue cheese. A Concours Général Agricole recognition, a prestigious French agricultural competition, and the Made in France label further reinforce its quality positioning. No certifications such as organic or protected designation labels are attached, so that element contributes zero to the score.

Despite the perfect score, Saint Agur sits at the 47th percentile among 139 French blue-veined cheeses — just below the category median. This reflects the competitive depth of the segment, in which many products also score highly. For a widely distributed brand competing against artisan and PDO-protected varieties, this standing is understandable. Shoppers who prioritise French dairy provenance and a recognised quality benchmark will find Saint Agur a dependable and well-credentialled blue cheese choice.
