Feta AOP - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Le Fromager des Halles presents a Feta AOP that achieves a European Score of 100, with all six scoring dimensions fully satisfied: company headquarters 35, manufacturing 35, ingredients 10, distribution 15, certifications 5, and proximity 5. The company is French-headquartered, and the product carries a PDO label, which in the case of feta is one of Europe's most firmly defended geographical indications — legally restricting authentic feta production to specific regions of Greece.

The ingredients dimension scores the maximum 10, consistent with the Greek origin noted in the fact sheet, confirming that the core dairy material comes from within the European Union. The PDO certification score of 5 reflects a rigorous, legally binding designation that guarantees the cheese meets defined standards for origin and production method.

In the feta-type cheese category, this product outscores 83% of the 40 products assessed, placing it firmly in the top fifth. For a European-minded shopper, this combination of a French retailer, Greek PDO-certified feta, and a maximised European Score represents a strong endorsement of the product's traceability and authenticity. The high percentile indicates that the majority of feta-type cheeses on the market do not match this product's level of European alignment, making it a well-justified choice for consumers who value protected origin designations and supply chain transparency.
