Roquefort AOP 32% Mat. Gr. - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Roquefort AOP from the Marque Repère and Les Croisés range achieves a perfect score of 100, anchored by a fully French supply chain and PDO certification. Company headquarters and manufacturing each contribute the maximum 35 points, distribution adds 15, certifications score 5, and proximity contributes 5. The ingredients score of 10 reflects traceable French-origin milk, and manufacture is confirmed in France. The product carries PDO and the French Brebis Rouge label, which certifies ewes' milk provenance, alongside the Green Dot and a Nutriscore grade E — the latter reflecting the nutritional profile typical of blue cheeses with high fat and salt content.

Roquefort is one of France's most celebrated and legally protected cheeses, produced exclusively from the milk of Lacaune ewes and matured in the caves of Combalou near Roquefort-sur-Soulzon. The PDO designation enforces these geographical and procedural constraints, making Roquefort one of the most strictly defined cheeses in the world. The Brebis Rouge label further reinforces the ewes' milk sourcing claim at a national level.

Within the roquefort cheeses category, this product ranks at the 41st percentile across 58 competitors, sitting just below the midpoint. This suggests that within a category where PDO status and French provenance are effectively universal requirements, other factors — such as brand positioning or packaging — may differentiate products. For consumers seeking an authentic, PDO-protected Roquefort at an own-label retail price point, this product remains a fully credentialled and well-sourced option.
