Why European Dairy Inflation is Hitting Home
The culprit isn’t just standard inflation, but newly implemented EU export logistics costs. Navigating European ports has become significantly more expensive, and new Italian agricultural export levies have been introduced to offset local supply chain strains. Because these whole wheels are massive, heavy, and require strict climate-controlled shipping from Parma to your local big-box retailer, the freight premiums have skyrocketed.
What to Expect at the Register
While wholesale giants typically absorb minor cost fluctuations to keep members happy, these new European fees are simply too steep to swallow. Shoppers should brace for a noticeable jump in the price-per-pound of bulk imported Italian cheeses. If you’ve been on the fence about securing a Kirkland Signature Parmigiano wheel for an upcoming event, you might want to load up your flatbed cart before the end of the month.
