Creme Fraiche - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Dairy Manor's crème fraîche earns a perfect score of 100, with both company headquarters and manufacturing contributing their maximum 35 points, reflecting a United Kingdom-based company and domestic production. Ingredients earn the full 10 points, with all sourcing traced to the United Kingdom, and distribution scores 15 for its national retail presence. The proximity score of 5 confirms that production takes place within the UK's home market, keeping the supply chain entirely domestic. No certifications or quality labels of any kind are attached, so that element contributes zero.

The absence of any labelling — no organic mark, no sustainability certification, no Nutriscore equivalent — means the product's score relies entirely on the geographical strength of its supply chain. For a chilled dairy staple like crème fraîche, where freshness and short transport distances are inherently valued, this is a reasonable foundation.

At the 89th percentile among 132 sour cream and crème fraîche products, this is an exceptionally strong category result, outperforming nearly nine in ten direct competitors. In a large and diverse category that includes many continental European products with longer supply chains, a wholly UK-produced crème fraîche with domestic ingredient sourcing achieves a significant competitive advantage under this scoring framework. For UK shoppers who prioritise local dairy sourcing and a minimal-footprint supply chain, Dairy Manor's crème fraîche is one of the highest-performing options available.
