DCA Market Intelligence introduces a DCA EU Cheese Index, a new weekly price index that brings together all major DCA cheese benchmarks into a single weighted reference. This offers a quick overview of price trends in the European cheese market.

DCA Market Intelligence publishes ten independent benchmark prices for different European cheese types each week for its clients in the global dairy sector. Each cheese type is weighted according to its relative production and/or market share within the European cheese market, as estimated by DCA. The index is expressed in euros per tonne and published weekly on thursday.

The DCA EU Cheese Index comprises benchmark prices for ten major European cheese categories: foil-ripened Edam, foil-ripened Gouda, Mild Cheddar, Cheddar Curd, mozzarella, Frau Antje foil-ripened Gouda, naturally matured foil-ripened Gouda, Emmentaler, Maasdam and Cagliata.
