Le Chèvre Typé et Crémeux - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Soignon's Le Chèvre Typé et Crémeux is a soft goat's cheese with a natural rind achieving a perfect European Score of 100. The breakdown gives 35 points to company headquarters, 35 to manufacturing, 10 to ingredients, 15 to distribution, and 5 to proximity, with certifications scoring 0 as only the Triman packaging label is present. Manufacturing is confirmed in Dangé-Saint-Romain, Poitou-Charentes — a region with deep goat's cheese traditions — and the product originates from France. Within the soft cheese with a natural rind category, which contains 116 products, this cheese sits at the 42nd percentile, meaning that more than half of comparable products score equally or higher. This is a notable result given the maximum overall score: it indicates that the category itself is dominated by products with similarly strong European supply chains, making differentiation through geography alone difficult. For a European-minded shopper, the Poitou-Charentes manufacturing base and full French provenance are genuine strengths, but the competitive landscape within this category means the product does not stand apart from the majority on the European Score alone. Quality and taste considerations would typically drive the final choice here.
