FOREIGN TYPE CHEESE  

EU produced cheese sold for EU consumption faces robust demand 
and lower supplies. This is moving prices within the EU up. 
Cheese manufacturers are seeking to increase production but the 
seasonally declining milk supply is complicating those efforts. 
In the U.S., wholesale domestic blue, gorgonzola, parmesan and 
Romano cheese prices increased $0.0450 following higher weekly 
average CME Group block prices. Swiss cuts Switzerland decreased 
$0.1000. The remaining prices are unchanged.
