How do you eat Aydin curd cheese?

Can you cook with Aydin curd cheese?
Yes, Aydin curd cheese can be used in savory pastries, flatbread fillings, and other cooked dishes. Drain it well before adding it to dough or pastry, because excess moisture can make the filling wet.

Can you freeze Aydin curd cheese?
