Cheese market momentum slows down, although gains continue

European cheese markets showed diverging trends in week 46 (November 12), although sentiment remained primarily positive, supported by strong demand and limited spot availability. Gouda and Edam extended their upward momentum, while Cagliata recorded the strongest weekly increase and the Cheddar complex remained broadly stable. Meanwhile, Emmentaler Grating benchmarks close at €3,680 on the day of its launch, with Emmentaler Slicing closing at a 4.5% premium.
