String cheese

String cheese
Traditional Korbáčiky from Slovakia

String cheese is any of several different types of cheese where the manufacturing process aligns the proteins in the cheese, making it stringy.

When mozzarella is heated to 60 °C (140 °F) and then stretched, the milk proteins line up. It is then possible to peel strings or strips from the larger cheese.
