Spot purchasers are looking for additional loads wherever they can find them. Sales are generally lively, particularly for the catering sector. Cheese exports to other countries are unchanged from last week. Sliced cheese production is generally steady and in line with seasonal output levels. As businesses and people continue to ease out of the COVID-19 lock down, there remains uncertainty about how the tourism industry will evolve and affect cheese consumption in the future. U.S. domestic prices for blue, gorgonzola, parmesan, and Romano have decreased by $.0050 compared to the previous week, while Swiss cheese prices dropped $.3625. All other cheese prices are unchanged.
