MD_DA811 Cheese - Foreign Type Report 26 - Released on June 26, 2019 The German cheese market is in equilibrium, with stable demand from domestic buyers and active sales to Southern Europe. Altogether, global requests are unchanged from previous weeks. Milk outputs are not permitting an increase in the volume of cheese produced. Nonetheless, cheese processors can maintain their outputs at stable levels. They can fulfill contractual demand, but spot buyers can't always get what they need due to lower inventories. Current weather conditions are favoring the sale of mozzarella in Germany. Higher prices were demanded in July sliced cheese contractual negotiations. Meanwhile, in the U.S., the prices for wholesale blue, gorgonzola, parmesan Italy, and Romano are up this week, whereas all other prices in the table below are the same as last week.
