A funny thing happened to my cheese

I used Franco's lancashire recipe to make a small batch of cheese and I am a little puzzled about how it came out.
I made it then left it a month before trying, it looks and tastes o/k but if I use it in cooking ie grated on top of a dish it does not melt.
It softens but keeps its shape, would this be because I pressed it either too much or to long?
Even slicing in a toasted cheese sandwich it keeps the slice shape.

Just curious

Sounds about right for a crumbly cheese. Cheshire also seems to hold its texture in the way you describe, when heated.

Reason it does not melt is because the proper PH was not achieved, common problem with home cheese makers.
