Meringues Framboises - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Ibó's Meringues Framboises are organic raspberry meringues produced in Alpes de Haute Provence, France, and earn a perfect European Score of 100, matching their sibling product at the 87th percentile within the meringues category of 70 products. The breakdown awards 35 points for French headquarters and 35 for manufacturing in Alpes de Haute Provence, with distribution contributing 15, certifications 5, ingredients 7, and the proximity bonus 5. The ingredients score of 7 reflects that some inputs are sourced from outside the EU, as indicated by the non-EU agriculture label.

The product is certified organic and EU organic with an artisanal production designation, and carries no-gluten, EU and non-EU agriculture labels — all of which support the full 5 certification points. The artisanal production label distinguishes this product from industrially manufactured meringues and adds a craft-production dimension to the provenance profile. For a European-minded shopper, the named Provençal production region and the organic and artisanal certifications combine to create a product with strong independent verification of both geographic and manufacturing credentials. The mixed ingredient origins reduce the ingredients score relative to a fully European supply chain, but the certifications compensate by providing audited assurance of farming standards across all sourcing geographies. At the 87th percentile, this product sits firmly in the upper tier of its category.
