Flore di Macchia (31 % MG) - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Flore di Macchia from Antoine Ottavi is a Corsican cheese produced on the island of Corsica in France, with manufacturing declared in the Haute-Corse département. The product achieves a perfect score of 100, with headquarters and manufacturing each contributing 35, ingredients 10, distribution 15, and a proximity bonus of 5. No certifications points were awarded, and the product carries labels confirming pasteurised milk and Corsican manufacture.

The Fromagerie Ottavi in Ghisonaccia is a well-established Corsican producer, and the Fabriqué en Corse designation on the label reinforces the territorial identity of the product. The declared fat content places this firmly in the soft cheese category. Corsican cheeses occupy a distinctive niche within French cheesemaking, drawing on island-specific pastoral traditions and a relatively isolated agricultural ecosystem. With a percentile of 54, this product outscores 54% of the 24 products assessed in the cheeses from Corsica category — a mid-range position in a specialist and geographically defined segment.

For consumers interested in authentic Corsican dairy production with a clearly declared island origin, this offering from Ottavi represents a product with strong territorial credentials. The full manufacturing and headquarters scores, combined with the explicit Corsican labelling, confirm that this cheese is genuinely rooted in its stated origin rather than simply branded with regional imagery.
