FOREIGN TYPE CHEESE     

In the EU, milk that previously would likely go into cheese 
production is now going into dairy powders and especially skim 
milk powder, following recent expansions of drying capacity by a 
number of EU dairy processors. This is keeping EU cheese 
inventories tighter. In the U.S., wholesale domestic blue, 
gorgonzola, parmesan and Romano cheese prices increased $0.0700 
following higher weekly average CME Group block prices. Swiss 
cuts Switzerland decreased $.0125. The remaining prices are 
unchanged.
