Mozzarella au lait pasteurisé de vache - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Carrefour Bio's organic pasteurised cow's milk mozzarella achieves a perfect European Score of 100 in the cow mozzarella category. The breakdown awards 35 points each for company headquarters and manufacturing, 10 for ingredients, 15 for distribution, 5 for certifications, and 5 for proximity. The manufacturing address is explicitly provided as Latticini Italia Srl in Usmate Velate, Lombardy, Italy — a level of transparency that allows shoppers to identify the precise production facility. The European Union is listed as the origin, and the product carries EU organic and Ecocert-certified organic labels, along with the French organic designation, reflecting the French retail context of a Carrefour product manufactured in Italy. Within the cow mozzarella category, this product ranks at the 84th percentile across 32 assessed products, outperforming the large majority of its peers. That strong result reflects the combination of organic certification and the explicitly documented Italian manufacturing base. For a European-minded shopper, this product demonstrates that the European Score rewards production within the broader European Union even when that production occurs in a country other than the retailer's home market. Italian mozzarella produced in Lombardy under certified organic conditions, distributed through a French retail network, represents a pan-European supply chain that the scoring methodology is designed to recognise. The 84th percentile position across 32 products confirms this product is among the strongest European performers in a competitive fresh cheese category where provenance and certification both matter to informed consumers.
