Ricotta - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Ambrosi's Ricotta achieves a perfect score of 100, with breakdown points across company headquarters (35), manufacturing (35), ingredients (5), distribution (15), certifications (5), and proximity (5). The product is sold in France and carries certified organic status under the EU organic scheme, contributing the full 5-point certification score. The ingredients score of 5 reflects that the milk used is sourced from within the European Union but without confirmation of a more specific domestic origin, as the origin is listed as European Union broadly rather than a single country.

The company, Ambrosi, is an Italian dairy producer, and the product's organic certification is verified under an Italian certification body, consistent with Italian organic regulatory frameworks. At the 88th percentile within its category of 59 ricotta products, this product outscores the large majority of its peers — a strong result that reflects the combined benefit of European manufacturing, organic certification, and full proximity and certification scores.

For consumers seeking a certified organic ricotta with European dairy provenance, Ambrosi's offering is a competitive choice. The ingredients score, while not at maximum, reflects the pan-European nature of EU organic milk supply chains rather than any shortcoming in certification standards. The 88th percentile ranking in a moderate-sized category confirms that this product performs strongly relative to the conventional and non-certified alternatives that make up most of the ricotta market available to French consumers.
