Varieties
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.
Preparation, uses, and tips
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.
