Does smoked Mihaliç cheese melt well?

Can you fry smoked Mihaliç cheese?

Can you eat the rind of smoked Mihaliç cheese?

How should you store smoked Mihaliç cheese after opening?
Wrap smoked Mihaliç cheese tightly and keep it refrigerated to limit drying and prevent it from absorbing other food odors. Use a clean knife when cutting it, and bring out only the portion you plan to serve.
What cheese can replace smoked Mihaliç cheese in a recipe?
Aged pecorino or Parmesan can replace smoked Mihaliç cheese when a recipe needs a firm, salty cheese, but neither has the same Turkish character or smoky aroma. Add a little smoked paprika only if the recipe specifically needs that smoky note.
