Roquefort - European Score 98/100

European Score analysis

Paysan Breton Roquefort achieves a perfect score of 100, with company headquarters and manufacturing each contributing the maximum 35 points, ingredients earning a full 10 points, certifications adding 5 points, and proximity contributing a further 5 points. Distribution scores 10 points, reflecting the product's broad sales reach across Bulgaria, France, and Morocco, which introduces some geographic spread in its market footprint. Origins are confirmed as France, and the product carries a Protected Designation of Origin along with a made in France label and the Triman recycling indicator.

Roquefort PDO is one of France's most celebrated and strictly regulated cheeses, required by its designation to be produced exclusively in the Combalou caves of Roquefort-sur-Soulzon in the Aveyron. The PDO certification guarantees both the geographic origin of production and adherence to traditional production methods, including the use of Penicillium roqueforti. The French origin and PDO credentials are central to the product's identity and quality assurance.

With a percentile of 41, this Roquefort outscores 41% of the 58 products assessed in its category, placing it just below the midpoint. The distribution across multiple international markets, including Bulgaria and Morocco, contributes to a slightly reduced distribution score compared to products with more concentrated domestic sales. For consumers seeking an authentically produced French PDO Roquefort with full geographic traceability and recognised quality credentials, this Paysan Breton product remains a credible and well-sourced choice.
