Emmental râpé - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Emmental râpé, sold under the Marque Repère and Les Croisés own-label brands, is a grated Emmental cheese manufactured in France, belonging to the grated emmentaler category. Its European Score of 100 is the maximum, composed of 35 points each for company headquarters and French manufacturing, 10 for ingredients, 15 for distribution, 5 for proximity, and no certification points. The product carries declarations of French milk and the green dot packaging mark, alongside a Nutriscore designation. No organic, protected designation, or quality scheme certifications are recorded.

At the 54th percentile across 76 products in the grated emmentaler category, this cheese sits just above the midpoint of a moderately competitive segment. For a European-minded shopper, the confirmed French manufacture and declared French milk origin provide a straightforward basis for the maximum score. Grated emmentaler is a category where a number of products may share similar European sourcing profiles, making the percentile a sensitive indicator of distinctions in certification and ingredient transparency. The absence of any third-party certification — organic, Label Rouge, or protected designation — means this product rests on declared rather than verified claims. Shoppers who apply a higher bar for independent accreditation will find that several competitors in this category carry additional credentials, which is reflected in the product's middling percentile despite its maximum score.
