This shredded cheese is ready to use straight from the package. It can be added directly to hot dishes where its heat will cause it to melt. For dishes like casseroles or gratins, it can be layered or sprinkled on top before baking. When making sauces or dips, it can be stirred in towards the end of cooking until fully melted and smooth. It also works well in cold preparations like salads, adding a cheesy texture and flavor.
