Merkts is a high quality cheese spread. And the favorite snack at pre-game, half-time or anytime!   Q. Are Merkts Cheese products kosher? A. Sorry, sport’s fans, our products are not kosher.   Q. Are Merkts Cheese products made with Pasteurized Milk? A. Almost all of our products are made from cheese that was fully pasteurized. Only our Swiss cheese based products are made from cheese that was heat treated to 148˚, but not pasteurized. We age all other cheeses for at least 60 days and then blend them with other ingredients to create our delicious spreadable cheese without the aid of heat.   Q. Do Merkts Cheese products need to be refrigerated? A. Yes, Merkts should be kept refrigerated before opening and after.   Q. Where can I buy Merkts Cheese products? A. Go to the Store Locator section of our web site. We’ll connect you to a Store Locator that will help you track down your favorite products.   Q. What are the ingredients and nutritional information for Merkts Cheese products. A. Go to the Products section and click the Nutrition/Ingredients button. Ingredients and nutritional information is listed by flavor.   Q. Can I freeze Merkts Cheese products? A. Merkts can be frozen up to a year. However, freezing makes the texture slightly crumbly after thawing. Also, be aware that the cups may become brittle when frozen and can crack.   Q. How long will the spreadable cheese stay fresh in my refrigerator after I have opened the container? A. Under normal conditions, Merkts spreadable cheese products will retain freshness for approximately three months after the product is opened. That’s almost a whole season, sport’s fans!   Q. Are the Merkts spreadable cheese products heat processed? A. Not now. Not ever. The natural flavors of the cheese come through our spreadable cheese because we utilize a unique “cold pack” method of converting naturally aged cheese to our spreadable form.
