FOREIGN TYPE CHEESE  

Cheese demand within Europe remains strong. This is especially 
true in Southern European countries with holiday seasonal high 
demand for cheese. Supplies remain tight in most manufacturing 
countries. Younger cheese is being drawn from European aging 
stocks to meet current demand. In the U.S., wholesale domestic 
blue, gorgonzola, parmesan and Romano cheese prices increased 
$0.0400 following higher weekly average CME Group block prices. 
The remaining prices are unchanged.
