DCA benchmarks: Cheese commentary week 27

The cheese market recorded mixed results in week 27, making it the only dairy segment without a clear upward trend across all benchmarks. While Mozzarella posted the strongest gains and the Cheddar complex moved moderately higher, foiled cheeses, Emmentaler, and Maasdam showed a more varied performance, reflecting differences in product availability and demand. Contributors described a quiet market during the holiday period, where tighter milk availability provided some price support, although sufficient stocks of certain cheeses and weaker Southern European demand continued to limit broader price increases.
