MD DA811 Cheese - Foreign Type

FOREIGN TYPE CHEESE  

Foreign type cheese prices continue to increase in Europe, most 
strongly for cheddar and mozzarella, less so for Emmentaler and 
hard Italian varieties. Stocks are at a low level. With the 
European milk supply continuing to decline, there is scant 
expectation of cheese stocks being rebuilt in coming weeks. In 
the U.S., wholesale blue, gorgonzola, parmesan and Romano prices 
increased $.1250. The remaining prices are unchanged.
