Bleu 31% MG - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Les Croisés Bleu, a French blue-veined cheese sold under the Marque Repère distributor label, earns a perfect score of 100. Company headquarters and manufacturing each contribute their maximum 35 points, reflecting a French company identity and domestic production, while ingredients earn the full 10 points with milk explicitly sourced from France. Distribution scores 15 for its national retail presence, and the proximity score of 5 confirms that production takes place within France. No certifications are present, so that element adds zero, and the product holds a Nutriscore D — reflecting the naturally high fat content typical of blue-veined cheeses — alongside the Triman recycling label.

The product offers no protected geographical designation or organic status, positioning it firmly as a value-oriented blue cheese for everyday consumption. Its score is built entirely on the strength of its French supply chain rather than on premium quality markers.

At the 47th percentile among 139 French blue-veined cheeses, it sits just below the category median — a competitive segment where many products share similar geographical credentials. For price-conscious shoppers who still wish to purchase a blue cheese made with French milk and produced domestically, this distributor-label product provides solid transparency and a fully European supply chain. The absence of any certifications means the product competes primarily on provenance and value rather than on sustainability or quality accreditation.
