Roquefort (32% MG) - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

This Roquefort from the own-label brand scores a perfect 100, with maximum marks for company headquarters, manufacturing, ingredients, distribution, certifications, and proximity. The certifications score of 5 reflects the Protected Designation of Origin status, which legally confines authentic Roquefort production to a tightly defined geographical area in Aveyron. The manufacturing location is confirmed as France, consistent with PDO requirements. The fat content is stated in the product name, providing consumers with a clear nutritional reference point without requiring additional label scrutiny. Within the roquefort cheeses category, the product sits at the 41st percentile among 58 products, a position shared by several other Roquefort entries in this batch — reflecting the highly competitive nature of a category where PDO status is a baseline qualification rather than a distinguishing factor. The brand name itself is the category name, indicating a straightforward, heritage-driven identity without additional marketing layers. The combination of full scoring across all dimensions and PDO protection makes this a reliable, authentically produced example of one of France's most celebrated blue cheeses, well suited to consumers who value geographical integrity and transparency in their cheese choices.
