Roquefort 32% Mat. Gr. Portions x 4 - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

The Roquefort 32% Mat. Gr. Portions from Marque Repère and Les Croisés achieves a perfect European Score of 100. The breakdown awards 35 points each for French company headquarters and manufacturing in France, 10 for ingredients, 15 for distribution, 5 for certifications, and 5 for proximity. The product carries both a PDO label and a green dot, with the PDO accounting for the full certifications allocation.

Roquefort's PDO status means production is formally tied to a specific French geographical zone and a defined production method, independently verified under EU protected food name regulations. This gives shoppers a high degree of confidence in the product's geographical authenticity within the European framework.

Within the Roquefort cheeses category, the product sits at the 41st percentile across 58 products assessed. As noted for other Roquefort products in this batch, the PDO requirement means all certified Roquefort must originate from the same defined region, so differentiation within the category is primarily driven by other scoring factors. For a European-minded shopper, the combination of a maximum European Score, PDO certification, and confirmed French manufacturing provides strong provenance assurance. The portioned format offers a practical option for those seeking a formally designated French blue cheese in a convenient presentation, without sacrificing the European credentials that the score framework rewards.
