Sainte-Maure - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Soignon's Sainte-Maure achieves a perfect score of 100, with a breakdown showing headquarters at 35, manufacturing in Poitou-Charentes, France, at 35, distribution at 15, proximity at 5, and ingredients at the maximum of 10. No certifications are held in the data beyond the product's labels, so that dimension contributes zero. The product carries vegetarian, French milk, FSC, FSC Mix, and Triman labels, with origins traced to French milk specifically noted in the origins field.

Within the rulo de cabra category, this product shares a 46th percentile position with others at the same score level, meaning it scores higher than 46% of the 35 products assessed. The near-median percentile reflects the competitive structure of a category where many soft goat's cheese rolls share comparable European credentials.

For a European-focused shopper, the Poitou-Charentes manufacturing location is geographically significant: this region is the historical centre of French goat's cheese production, and Sainte-Maure de Touraine is a well-established appellation adjacent to Poitou. The French milk label and the origins declaration confirming French milk sourcing together provide clear ingredient provenance. The FSC Mix label indicates the packaging uses sustainably certified paper, adding an environmental dimension not typically present in dairy products. Soignon is a cooperative brand rooted in the Poitou area, which aligns the brand identity with the manufacturing geography. The 46th percentile reflects that certified organic or PDO-certified competitors in the same category earn additional points that place them higher in the relative ranking, rather than any weakness in this product's European supply chain.
