string cheese

Pull-apart dairy snack

String cheese is a type of mozzarella cheese formed into sticks or ropes that can be pulled apart into thin, stringy strips.

The fibrous texture results from the way the cheese is heated and stretched during production, aligning the protein strands.

It's a popular snack food, especially for children, typically eaten by peeling off strips rather than biting directly into it.

She packed string cheese in the kids' lunches.
