European Score analysis

Badoz's Cancoillotte du Fromager, a traditional French melted cheese from the Franche-Comté region, achieves a perfect score of 100. Company headquarters and manufacturing each contribute 35 points, distribution 15, ingredients 6, certifications 5, and proximity 5. The product holds a PGI designation — Protected Geographical Indication — confirming that Cancoillotte is a geographically protected cheese linked to its region of origin. Additionally, the product has received a gold medal at the Concours Général Agricole, a prestigious French agricultural competition, further validating its quality. French ingredient origin is declared, supporting a short domestic supply chain.

At a percentile of 90 within the cancoillotte category — a segment of 39 products — this product outscores 90% of its peers, placing it among the top performers in a characteristically French cheese category. The no preservatives label reinforces a minimal-processing approach consistent with traditional cheese-making. The ingredients score of 6 is the lowest in the breakdown, reflecting some complexity in the cheese composition beyond the primary milk component.

Badoz is a specialist Franche-Comté cheesemaker with a long heritage in traditional regional cheeses. The combination of PGI status, competition recognition, French ingredient provenance, and a 90th percentile ranking makes this one of the more distinguished products in the batch from a heritage and quality credential perspective.
