Crème glacée au Café - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Aquibio's Crème glacée au Café earns a European Score of 100 and ranks at the 87th percentile within the coffee ice cream tubs category, outscoring 87% of the 38 products assessed there. The breakdown reflects a product with strong European and organic credentials: company headquarters and manufacturing each contribute 35 points, with production located in France. Distribution adds 15 points, proximity contributes 5, and certifications reach 5, recognising EU Organic accreditation alongside Fairtrade certification.

The ingredients score of 8 is slightly below the maximum, consistent with the labelling noting both EU and non-EU agriculture origins — a predictable pattern for a product containing coffee, which is not cultivated within Europe. The Fairtrade certification, however, provides meaningful assurance that producers of non-European ingredients are subject to agreed minimum standards and pricing. For a European-minded shopper, the combination of French manufacture, organic farming standards, and Fairtrade sourcing offers a well-rounded provenance story. The score acknowledges that not all ingredients can be grown in Europe whilst still rewarding the transparency and certification structures that govern how non-European components are sourced. At the 87th percentile, this product is a strong performer in its category, with only a small minority of coffee ice cream products achieving a comparably high combination of European origin, production, and certification scores.
