Howdy Cheese Lovers,
Welcome back to your go-to spot for the cheesiest news! This week, as we inch closer to Thanksgiving, let’s talk about what’s happening in the cheese world and how it sets the stage for some scrumptious holiday feasting.
In the Midwest, the cheese scene is buzzing with activity. Spot milk availability remains a bit tight, influencing an interesting shift towards using nonfat dry milk in cheese making. The result? A consistent quality that cheese connoisseurs can rely on, especially with the demand for both Cheddar and Italian-style cheeses on the rise.
Prices are seeing a gentle dance, with barrel cheese nudging slightly ahead of block prices. It’s a subtle, but telling sign of how our tastes and preferences evolve, perhaps in anticipation of the festive season.
As we look forward to Thanksgiving, let’s be thankful for the array of savory cheeses that grace our hors d’oeuvres trays. The global market’s increasing appetite for American-type cheese and cream cheese is a testament to their versatility and appeal, making them perfect for those gourmet holiday spreads.
Next week’s dip forecast? We’re predicting a delightful spike in the popularity of creamy, spreadable cheeses. They’re not just delicious but are the heroes of our Thanksgiving appetizers.
Here’s to a holiday season filled with cheese-filled gratitude!
