The cheese market continued its overall positive trajectory in week 8 (February 19), driven primarily by increases in foiled cheese, Frau Antje, and Mozzarella benchmarks. Meanwhile, the Cheddar complex remained mostly stable, alongside Maasdam. Pricing strength has been supported by positive sentiment from the GDT and futures markets. However, production remains strong in the EU, resulting in a persistent price mismatch between buyers and sellers.
