Reduced Fat Soft Cheese Garlic & Herbs - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

This reduced-fat garlic and herb soft cheese attains the maximum European Score of 100, although its profile is more nuanced than the headline suggests. The brand is a British retailer's own label, earning the full 35 points for company headquarters, and the product earns the full 35 points for manufacturing. The proximity dimension is awarded its full 5 points.

Ingredients score the full 10 points and distribution the full 15. The origin information points to Denmark, indicating that the cheese itself is sourced from within the European Union, which keeps the product wholly European even though provenance and the brand's home market differ. Certifications score 0, since the product carries no recognised organic or quality scheme; its labelling instead emphasises reduced fat content, a claim that supports its positioning but does not feed into the European Score.

Within the cream cheeses category, which contains 413 products, this item sits in the 91st percentile, outscoring 91% of its peers. That is a strong standing in a large field, achieved through European headquarters, European sourcing and European manufacturing across the chain. The only uncredited pillar is certification, which is why that line of the breakdown reads zero despite the perfect overall result.
