About String cheese

String cheese is a popular snack made primarily from mozzarella cheese, originating from Italian cuisine. Known for its unique peel-apart texture, string cheese is crafted by heating and stretching mozzarella until it aligns into strands. This process gives it the distinct "stringy" consistency loved by many. Typically made from cow's milk, string cheese is rich in protein, calcium, and essential nutrients that support bone health and muscle function. It is naturally low in carbohydrates, making it a suitable choice for various diets, including low-carb and high-protein plans. However, its fat content can vary depending on whether it’s made with whole milk or part-skim milk; part-skim options are generally lower in calories and saturated fats. Convenient and portable, string cheese is an ideal snack for busy lifestyles or a quick energy boost. Moderation is advised as part of a balanced diet due to varying sodium levels in packaged varieties.
