beurre de baratte - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Biocoop's Beurre de Baratte achieves a perfect European Score of 100, with company headquarters and manufacturing each awarded the maximum 35 points, reflecting a French cooperative structure with domestic production. Ingredients score 10, distribution 15, certifications 5, and proximity 5 — a complete scorecard across all dimensions. The Lait Origine France declaration in the origins field confirms that milk sourcing is domestic, consistent with the French Agriculture and EU Agriculture labels.

The certification profile is extensive: EU Organic, certified organic (the French national organic certification), Fair Trade, French Agriculture, and EU Agriculture labels collectively confirm that both the dairy inputs and production process meet certified organic and ethical trade standards. Churned butter (beurre de baratte) is a traditional process associated with slower, more artisanal production, and the Biocoop distribution model — a French cooperative retailer focused on organic products — reinforces the supply chain coherence.

Within the beurres de baratte category, this product ranks at the 54th percentile across 24 products, placing it in the upper half of the field. The percentile reflects a category where many competitors also carry strong provenance credentials. For a European-minded shopper, the combination of certified organic French milk, Fair Trade accreditation, domestic manufacture, and cooperative distribution represents a high-integrity supply chain. The full proximity score of 5 further confirms the geographical tightness between milk sourcing and butter production.
