Quesco fresco cabra - European Score 98/100

European Score analysis

Hacendado's fresh goat's cheese achieves a perfect score of 100, ranking at the 91st percentile among the 413 cream cheeses evaluated — a strong performance placing it in the top 9% of a very large and varied category. The score breakdown assigns 35 to headquarters, 35 to manufacturing, 15 to distribution, 10 to ingredients, and 5 to proximity, with certifications scoring 0. Manufacturing is confirmed in Jumilla, Murcia, Spain, and the company is Spanish. The sole label is the Green Dot, a packaging recovery mark. For a European-minded shopper, this product presents a compact and coherent Spanish supply chain: a Spanish company producing cheese in Murcia from Spanish ingredients, distributed within Spain. The ingredients score of 10 reflects a simple fresh cheese formulation, typically milk, coagulants, and salt, with no complex additives. The certifications score of 0 reflects the absence of organic or PDO labels. The 91st percentile ranking is particularly notable given the size of the cream cheese category: outscoring 91% of 413 products is a meaningful achievement, indicating that the combination of domestic manufacturing, Spanish company headquarters, and clean ingredients places this product well above the category average. For Spanish consumers and European shoppers seeking domestic provenance, this is a high-performing everyday cheese.
