Is string cheese the same as mozzarella?
Although string cheese is 100 percent mozzarella cheese, it’s not the same as the softer, smoother fresh mozzarella. The biggest difference between the two is that fresh mozzarella is kept in water or brine, and string cheese (which is made with low moisture milk) is dried out.
What kind of cheese is string cheese?
mozzarella cheese
The answer: string cheese must always be mozzarella cheese. Why? Because mozarella cheese is the only type of cheese that has a stringing quality, naturally. Snack cheese, on the other hand, can be any variety of cheese, from cheddar to muenster, but you won’t be able to pull it apart in strands.
What even is string cheese?

Why is it called string cheese?
The cheese used is commonly a form of mozzarella, or a combination of mozzarella and cheddar. This type of string cheese gets its name because it can be eaten by pulling strips of cheese from the cylinder along its length and eating these strings. It was invented in 1976 by Frank Baker.
Why does string cheese not melt?
The reason behind this is its structure. It has low fat and has very low moisture. Microwaving may not be the best application for it as it was never a cheese that was originally designed for melting.
What does string cheese taste like?
The flavor is rich and cheesy but a little tart, with the salt and acidity in perfect balance. The only downside is that when you peel off the strings, some end up like thin annoying hairs, which others may love. (I like my string cheese to peel off in thick shreds.)
Why does string cheese taste different?
All your doing by seperating it into strands is exposing more surface area. So when you put it in your mouth you experience a sudden “big” taste sensation. If you chew it your exposure to the taste doesn’t come in such a big “rush”.
