This is a popular snack cheese. It is a favorite with children because it is fun to pull apart the strings that make up the rod shapes so they can be eaten individually.
String cheese is available as packages of individual cream-colored rods, although sometimes it comes in a braided shape. It is also available in smoked and unsmoked varieties, or flavored with garlic or onion.
