Fromage de brebis - koyun peyniri - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Gazi's sheep's milk cheese scores a perfect 100 and places at the 73rd percentile across 411 products in the sheep's milk cheeses category — a strong result in one of the largest and most diverse categories assessed. The breakdown awards 35 points each for headquarters in France and Germany, and manufacturing in the Netherlands, with 15 for distribution, 5 for proximity, and 10 for ingredients. Origins are listed as France, and the product is distributed across France, Germany, and Switzerland. No certifications are present, though the cheese carries halal and vegetarian labels.

The manufacturing location in the Netherlands differs from the stated French origins for ingredients, indicating a production model where milk from France is processed in a Dutch facility — a common arrangement in the European dairy industry for products sold across multiple markets. The halal certification is a meaningful differentiator for certain consumer segments, broadening the product's accessibility. The vegetarian label confirms the use of non-animal rennet. Whilst the cross-border production model limits the product's claim to strict local provenance, the European sourcing and production chain remains entirely within the continent, which is reflected in the strong score.
