Edam en tranches - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Marque Repère's Edam en tranches, sold under the Les Croisés label, achieves a perfect score of 100, placing it at the 77th percentile among the 65 Edam products evaluated — a comfortable upper-quarter position in a sizeable cheese category. The score breakdown assigns 35 to headquarters, 35 to manufacturing, 15 to distribution, 10 to ingredients, and 5 to proximity, with certifications scoring 0. Origins are recorded as the Netherlands, and the company is French. No manufacturing location is listed, though the Dutch origin of Edam is consistent with the product's category identity. Labels include NutriScore graded D and Triman. For a European-minded shopper, this product illustrates the European framework's recognition of intra-European supply chains: French retailer, Dutch cheese production, and pan-European distribution together produce a strong score. The ingredients score of 10 reflects the straightforward, single-cheese formulation typical of sliced Edam. The certifications score of 0 reflects the absence of organic or PDO labels, though the Netherlands is a major European dairy producer and Dutch Edam is a well-established European food product. The NutriScore D is a nutritional grading indicator rather than a provenance mark. For consumers seeking a European-aligned own-label cheese, this product delivers strong geographic credentials at a standard retail price point.
