Does full-fat Circassian cheese melt when heated?

Can full-fat Circassian cheese be used instead of paneer?
Yes, full-fat Circassian cheese can often stand in for paneer in curries and grilled dishes because it can hold its shape when heated. Its saltiness and smoky flavor may be stronger, so adjust the seasoning and choose fresh cheese for a milder result.
What is the difference between fresh and smoked full-fat Circassian cheese?
Fresh full-fat Circassian cheese is usually milder and more moist, while smoked cheese has a deeper aroma and may be firmer. Use the fresh kind when you want a gentle cheese flavor, and smoked cheese when you want the smoke to stand out.

It is commonly prepared from cow’s milk. Fresh versions are supple and mildly salty, with a milky flavour; smoked varieties have a deeper, more savoury taste.
