DCA Benchmarks: Cheese commentary week 28

DCA cheese benchmarks strengthened in week 28 (July 9), supported by firm market conditions and tighter milk availability. Gouda recorded the strongest weekly increase, while Mozzarella remained the highest-priced mainstream cheese and continued to show relative resilience. Although the market has recovered from recent lows, most cheese prices remain well below both the previous month and year-ago levels, with Cheddar pressured by an ample Irish supply. Contributor also reported a stronger demand for cream and skimmed milk concentrate, which reduced milk availability for cheese production despite generally cautious buying activity.
