How should you store Dimit cheese?
Keep Dimit cheese refrigerated in an airtight container to limit drying and odor transfer. Use a clean knife when cutting it, and return it to the refrigerator promptly after serving.
Can you freeze Dimit cheese?

Does Dimit cheese melt well?
Dimit cheese softens when heated, but it may not melt as smoothly as a cheese specifically chosen for melting. Try a small amount in your recipe first, especially if you need a stretchy or uniform sauce.
Does Dimit cheese contain lactose?
