Miel d'oranger de Valence - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Les Apiculteurs Associés' Miel d'Oranger de Valence achieves a European Score of 100, placing it in the 64th percentile among the 50 products assessed in the orange blossom honeys category. This positions the product above nearly two thirds of its peers — a solid result for a French honey company sourcing from Spain.

The score is distributed across five of the six breakdown components. Company headquarters and manufacturing each contribute the maximum 35, confirming that Les Apiculteurs Associés' French corporate base and its operations are firmly within the European framework. The ingredients score of 10 and distribution score of 15 indicate European-aligned sourcing and logistics. Origins are recorded as Spain, specifically Valencia, which is one of Europe's most recognised regions for orange blossom honey. The proximity score of 5 recognises geographic closeness within Europe. No certifications points are awarded, as the product carries no organic or protected designation labels. The Entrepreneurs Engagés label reflects a French retailer-driven sustainability commitment rather than an independently certified third-party scheme.

For a European-minded shopper, this product presents a transparent intra-European supply chain: Spanish orange blossom honey packaged and distributed by a French specialist honey brand. The Valencian origin is named explicitly, providing strong geographic traceability. The absence of organic certification may matter to some consumers, but the product's European provenance is clear and coherent. The 64th percentile ranking reflects a competitive category where Spanish-origin honeys with similar or stronger certification profiles exist alongside this offering.
