How should you store full-fat Kars kaşar cheese after opening?
Keep full-fat Kars kaşar cheese refrigerated and wrap it airtight after cutting. Covering the cut surface helps prevent drying and stops it absorbing other fridge odours. Discard it if it develops an unusual smell or visible mould.
Can you freeze full-fat Kars kaşar cheese?

Can you eat the rind of full-fat Kars kaşar cheese?
Sometimes, but check the surface first: full-fat Kars kaşar cheese may have an outer coating that is not meant to be eaten. Eat the rind only if the producer indicates it is edible and it is not wax or packaging.
Does full-fat Kars kaşar cheese contain lactose?
