Lait entier de la Gruyère - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Coop Naturaplan's Lait Entier de la Gruyère is a Swiss whole pasteurised milk with a European Score of 100, driven by company headquarters and manufacturing both scoring 35, distribution 15, proximity 5, and certifications 5. The ingredients sub-score of 8 slightly reduces the maximum possible, reflecting some complexity in the supply chain, while organic, EU Organic, Bio Suisse, and certified organic labels support the full certification points.

In the whole pasteurised milks category, this product ranks at the 73rd percentile, outperforming 73% of the 41 products assessed. Switzerland, while not an EU member state, is deeply integrated into European food standards and trade frameworks, and the Gruyère region is synonymous with high-quality dairy farming traditions.

For European-minded shoppers, this milk offers clear regional provenance from one of Europe's most recognised dairy landscapes, backed by multiple organic certifications including the rigorous Bio Suisse standard. The combination of Swiss company ownership, domestic production, and certified organic farming makes this a well-documented and transparently sourced product. The proximity contribution reflects the strong regional character of the sourcing. Shoppers seeking milk that combines European organic credentials with a named geographical origin will find this product among the stronger performers in its category. The certifications here are not merely decorative — Bio Suisse is widely regarded as one of the more demanding organic standards applied in European agriculture.
