Rocamadour, fromage de chèvre au lait cru, AOC - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

La Fromagerie du Quercy's Rocamadour AOC, sold under the Monoprix Gourmet banner, achieves a perfect score of 100. Headquarters and manufacturing each contribute 35 points, distribution 15, certifications 5, and proximity 5. The ingredients score of 7 reflects the use of raw goat's milk, consistent with the PDO specification, though no explicit ingredient origin declaration is provided beyond the implied requirements of the appellation. The product carries a protected designation of origin, certifying that it is produced in the defined Rocamadour zone of the Lot department in the Occitanie region.

Rocamadour is one of France's smallest and most distinctive goat's cheeses, made from raw milk and subject to strict geographic and production rules under its PDO. The Monoprix Gourmet sub-brand positions this as a premium retail offering, accessible through an urban French grocery network. No additional certification labels beyond the PDO are declared.

Within the soft cheese with a natural rind category, the product sits at the 42nd percentile among 116 products, meaning it is positioned in the lower half of a large and competitive peer group. The perfect total score reflects structural and certification strength rather than a relative category advantage. For consumers seeking an authentic, raw-milk, geographically protected Rocamadour from a named Quercy producer, this product offers genuine appellation integrity.
