What is "string cheese"?

String cheese is a type of cheese that is known for its elongated, string-like texture. It is typically made from mozzarella cheese, which is heated and stretched into long, thin strands. The result is a cheese that can be easily pulled apart into strings or strips. String cheese is a popular snack choice, especially among children, and is often enjoyed on its own or as a portable, fun snack. It is also commonly used in recipes like stuffed breadsticks or melted over pizza.
