Noisette décortiquée - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Greenweez's organic shelled hazelnuts achieve a perfect score of 100, with a breakdown showing headquarters at 35, manufacturing in France at 35, distribution at 15, certifications at 5, proximity at 5, and ingredients at the maximum of 10. The product holds organic and EU organic certifications. The origins data lists Turkey as the source country for the hazelnuts themselves, while manufacturing is confirmed in France.

Within the unsalted hazelnuts category, this product scores higher than 63% of the 43 products assessed. The 63rd percentile reflects a product that performs well above the category median but does not reach the very top tier, a position consistent with having Turkish-origin hazelnuts processed in France under organic certification.

For a European-focused shopper, this product presents a nuanced picture. The French headquarters and French processing location both contribute fully to the score, and the organic certification provides third-party verification of production standards. However, the hazelnuts themselves originate in Turkey — an important caveat for shoppers who associate the European score primarily with European agricultural origins. The scoring methodology rewards the French processing and the European company base regardless of where the raw nut is grown, which is a deliberate design choice reflecting the reality that certain crops cannot be grown commercially within the EU. The EU organic label confirms that the organic standard applies to the certified chain of custody even for the Turkish-origin nuts. The 63rd percentile placing is a fair reflection of this nuanced supply chain.
