Does Casu Marzu Maggot Infested Cheese Melt?

Casu Marzu has a unique texture and characteristic, and as a consequence,  it does not melt like other cheeses. The presence of live maggots in the cheese affects its properties, making it unsuitable for melting. If you attempt to melt Casu Marzu, it will behave differently from traditional melting cheeses.

This cheese is best enjoyed as it is, with the larvae adding a distinctive flavor and texture to the overall experience.
