Or $7.50kg in Australia - and we are now on parity to the U$Sorry for the glib answer but this is a topic that comes up about 4 times a year. If you search the forum you will see the price goes up and down (mostly up). If you want to feel good about what you are paying compare your price to what we pay in Canada. $4.55/lb is what I paid this week for full fat mozza.
I suspect that a big part of it is that Canada doesn’t have MASSIVE government dairy subsidies.We are paying i think 1.65 lb LMPS Motz. Next week it going down to 1.53 lb.
Why is cheese so much in canada?? hell, for that much i would rent a uhaul and come to the states and stock pile that somewhere thats big money
There is a marketing board that set the price of cheese here. There is no rhyme or reason to their methods. I have been open for 6 years and the price has increased every year so I am paying 15% more now than I did when I opened.We are paying i think 1.65 lb LMPS Motz. Next week it going down to 1.53 lb.

Not sure where you got the idea Canada has massive timber subsidies…
ummmm, ??? Go do some research.

Royster, its been ‘alleged’ for decades, probably because the government ‘owns’ most of the land where its harvested. In essence, the government then can set the price wherever it likes.
We paid 1.873 this week for the Arrezio LMWM. We pay 17 cents over the CME block price on a four week lag. There’s no guessing games and no playing around with our distributors on cheese.Sysco is offering me
Arrezio LMPS Moss for $2.42
Saputo 50% Whole Milk Mozz/50% Skim Mozz for around $2.69
Sorrento Prima Cucina Mozz - $2.81
Joker, how are you getting it for so cheap?? We’re opening a new delivery/carryout and are working on getting our ingredients/recipes finalized, but I feel we’re being offered higher cheese pricing.
We are .13 cents over CME block price with a 1 week lag. Right now we are saving about 1500 a month in cheese since its dropped .40 cents over the last month, makes a big differencepizzalicious:

Joker - do you pay based on the current week’s prices? It looks like it, or on a one week lag. I much prefer the four week lag because I know what my cheese prices are going to be a month from now. We an therefore save a nice bit of money by timing our purchases accordingly.
