FOREIGN TYPE CHEESE   

European cheese supplies available for immediate sale from 
manufacturers are tight to scarce. Demand remains active from 
consumers and food service. Northern European cheese 
manufacturers also have strong demand from buyers in Southern 
European countries. Milk supplies are not sufficient to meet 
cheese manufacturer interest, which is restricting desired 
production levels. In the U.S., wholesale domestic blue, 
gorgonzola, parmesan and Romano cheese prices decreased $0.0975 
following lower weekly average CME Group block prices. Swiss 
cuts Switzerland prices increased $.0525. The remaining prices 
are unchanged.
