Dutch Emmental Slices - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Emporium Dutch Emmental Slices scores 100, ranking in the 59th percentile within the 153-product emmentaler category. The breakdown awards 35 points each for company headquarters and manufacturing, 15 for distribution, 10 for ingredients, and 5 for proximity, with certifications adding nothing. Origins are recorded as the Netherlands, and the product is sold in Ireland and the United Kingdom. The sole label is a vegetarian designation. No protected designation labels — such as the Swiss AOP associated with traditional Emmental — or organic certifications are recorded. For a European-minded shopper, the key fact is that this Emmental-style cheese is sourced from the Netherlands and backed by a European corporate structure, placing both origin and ownership firmly within Europe. The UK and Irish retail presence reflects a common distribution pattern for European dairy products in those markets. The 59th percentile in a category of 153 products places this cheese just above the median, indicating that a significant proportion of emmentaler products achieve similar or higher scores. Shoppers seeking a straightforwardly European-aligned sliced cheese without premium certification credentials will find this product meets that requirement.
