Weekly Market Update for 06/12/26
Valuable insights on the latest market price changes for eggs, butter, cheese, and cream products.
Here is a look at the markets:
Eggs:
The shell egg market hasn’t moved in the last two weeks and there is nothing to suggest any changes in the near future.
Butter:
The butter market seems to be returning to its comfort zone in the mid $1.60’s, where it has mostly resided since late April. EU prices are lower and supply is abundant both abroad and in this country. We have attractive pricing on High Desert label butter solids. Dinner Bell whipped butter cups (13739) have been replaced by Grassland label whipped cups (40510) at the same price level as have Dinner Bell regular butter cups (13705) as they have been replaced by a Grassland label (40511). This is completing the Grassland transition to their own labels after the AMPI acquisition earlier in the year. We received a limited amount of Sommer Maid whipped butter cups this week (40500) while the solid cups will be available soon!
Cheese:
After finishing lower for four consecutive weeks, the CME block market appears to be on track to finish the week slightly higher. Production continues to be strong and inventories across most channels are abundant. Dairy Farmers of America is still behind on production of mozzarella and provolone at their New Wilmington, PA plant. We are seeing shortages on Jacobo and Enricco label products. One alternative would be the Bella Francesca label, which we feature with a full lineup of mozzarella and provolone! We have attractive pricing on Land O’Lakes white and yellow loaf American. We have good inventories on Cooper sharp as well as the Cooper white shreds (1140) that are back in stock. Bongards continues to have product issues on sliced American with lead times now pushed out closer to five weeks. Check out the attractive pricing on Swiss cheese, especially under the Block Essentials brand! The Swiss market went up about $.135 for May and is up another $.09 for June.
Fluid Dairy:
Check out the attractive pricing on Sommer Maid heavy cream, half & half and sour cream products!
For the most complete lineup of dairy products, count on Sommer Maid for quality, consistency and value!
