Farmers Choice Smoked String Cheese
What it is
This is a type of cheese that has been processed and smoked to give it a distinct flavor. It is typically made from cow's milk and has a firm, yet pliable texture. The smoking process imparts a savory, slightly woody aroma and taste. It is often sold in individually wrapped sticks, making it convenient for snacking or adding to meals. The cheese itself is a pale yellow to off-white color, with a smooth surface.
How people cook with it

This cheese is ready to eat straight from the package. For a quick snack, simply peel back the wrapper and enjoy. When cooking, it melts well, making it ideal for adding a smoky depth to dishes.
