String cheese is a snack cheese from the United States, sold as thin sticks that peel into long strands. It is a stretched cow's milk cheese, close to low-moisture mozzarella, with a mild and slightly salty taste. The sticks have no rind. Each piece is meant to be pulled apart by hand. The form is as important as the flavor, because the strands are the point of the product.
