Cooking Tips
Grate it for a lovely color boost in toppings for casseroles or baked potatoes.
Slice it thinly for cheese boards or sandwiches where you want a firm texture and mild flavor.
It melts reasonably well, making it suitable for toasted sandwiches or cheese sauces, though it might not be as smooth as cheddars.
