Hard Cheese Grated - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

This grated hard cheese reaches the maximum European Score of 100, reflecting wholly Lithuanian credentials. Company headquarters and manufacturing both achieve the full 35 points, as the brand is Lithuanian and the cheese originates in Lithuania. Distribution earns the maximum 15 across Latvia and Lithuania, with proximity adding 5, indicating tightly clustered sourcing, production and sale within the Baltic region.

Ingredients score the full 10, since the cheese is made entirely from European milk with no imported components. Certifications stand at 0, as the only declared attribute is a lactose-free claim, which describes a product characteristic rather than an accredited organic or quality scheme that the methodology rewards.

The percentile of 69 means it outscores 69% of products in an exceptionally large category whose categoryCount is 2477. Cow cheeses form one of the most populous segments assessed, so a placement in the upper third is a meaningful achievement. The product's perfect headline score stems from its complete European integration, while the absence of certification points is the single factor that separates it from the very highest performers. For a traditional matured cheese sold close to its region of origin, this represents a robust and well-grounded result within a highly competitive field.
