The cheese market continued to observe positive momentum in week 7 (February 12), with most of DCA Market Intelligence’s cheese benchmarks rising compared to the previous week, except for Emmentaler and Cagliata. Gouda and Mozzarella drove most of the increase, reflecting the tight availability perceived in the market, while the Cheddar complex and Naturally Ripened Gouda increased at a more moderate pace. Contributor sentiment reflects ongoing momentum following last week's positive shift, despite strong production fundamentals.
