Leerdammer original 16 tranches 400g - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Leerdammer Original in sliced format achieves a perfect score of 100, with company headquarters and manufacturing each at the maximum 35 points. Ingredients contribute 10, distribution 15, and proximity 5. No certifications are present to contribute to that category. The product is sold in France but originates from the Netherlands, which is consistent with the brand's established Dutch heritage.

The sole label present is a lactose-free designation, which serves as a useful dietary indicator for consumers with lactose sensitivity. No organic, PDO, or sustainability certification is listed. At the 75th percentile among 242 sliced cheeses — a large and competitive segment — Leerdammer Original outscores three-quarters of its category rivals, a strong result for a mainstream, non-certified sliced cheese.

For buyers seeking a widely recognised, lactose-free sliced cheese with Dutch origin and strong European distribution credentials, this product performs well above the category average. Its high percentile in a very large segment underscores the strength of the Leerdammer brand positioning relative to the breadth of sliced cheese competition.
