Cheese Stix
What it is
These are pre-portioned sticks of cheese, often made from mozzarella or a similar mild, semi-hard cheese. They are designed for convenience, offering a ready-to-eat snack or an easy addition to meals. The texture is typically firm enough to hold its shape but soft enough to bite through easily. They are a popular choice for lunchboxes and quick snacks.
