It's held pretty steady across the year.
Order by the case
It's spec'd by the case, with per-piece or per-kilo shown where it helps you line up suppliers. Match the pack to your usage so it turns over before it ties up cash on the shelf.
Buy in whole truckles or catering blocks for grating yield; pre-portioned wedges cost more per kg but cut waste for cheeseboard service.
