Noisettes décortiquées - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Ibo's shelled organic hazelnuts achieve a perfect European Score of 100 in the unsalted hazelnuts category. The breakdown awards 35 points each for company headquarters and manufacturing, 10 for ingredients, 15 for distribution, 5 for certifications, and 5 for proximity. Manufacturing is confirmed in Cavaillon, France, while the origin is listed as Turkey — a transparency that reflects the reality of European hazelnut supply, where Turkey is the world's dominant producer. The product carries EU organic, French organic, and vegan certifications, along with a no preservatives label. Within the unsalted hazelnuts category, this product ranks at the 63rd percentile across 43 assessed products, placing it in the upper-middle tier of its peer group. For a European-minded shopper, this product illustrates how the European Score treats processing location distinctly from raw material origin: hazelnuts are sourced from Turkey, but the shelling, preparation, and distribution operations are confirmed in France, retaining economic value domestically. Organic certification adds accountability to the Turkish sourcing, requiring that cultivation meets EU-recognised organic standards. The full certifications score reflects this. The proximity score confirms acceptable supply chain geography from the French processing facility. Shoppers who prioritise European ingredient origin should note the Turkish provenance, while those who weight processing location and certification may find this a well-anchored option in the nuts category. The 63rd percentile across 43 products reflects a genuinely competitive position in a sizeable field.
