Edamer - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Luxlait's Edamer is an Edam cheese achieving a perfect European Score of 100. The breakdown allocates 35 points to company headquarters, 35 to manufacturing, 10 to ingredients, 15 to distribution, and 5 to proximity, with certifications scoring 0 as no labels are recorded. The product is manufactured in Luxembourg, and the brand operates across Belgium and Luxembourg, reflecting a compact Benelux-based supply chain. No ingredient origins or certification labels are specified. Within the Edam category, which contains 65 products, this cheese ranks above 77% of its peers — a solid result in a moderately sized category. The Luxembourg manufacturing base, combined with a headquarters also in the region, creates a tightly localised supply chain that the European Score rewards. For a European-minded shopper, the absence of certifications is the primary gap relative to top-scoring competitors in the category, but the geographic compactness of the supply chain remains a genuine strength. The 77th percentile rank confirms that this product outperforms most of its direct competitors on European provenance grounds, and the Benelux footprint ensures short supply routes between production and primary markets.
