String cheese String cheese String cheese refers to several different types of cheese where the manufacturing process aligns the proteins in the cheese, which makes it stringy. When mozzarella is heated to 60 °C and then stretched, the milk proteins line up. It is possible to peel strings or strips from the larger cheese. In Slovakia, korbáčiky is made, which is a salty sheep milk cheese, available smoked or unsmoked. It is traditionally made by hand-pulling steamed sheep's cheese into strings and braiding them. Cow milk versions are also available. In Armenia, traditional string cheese is made with a white base. The
History of cheese tastes of the social elite. Shards of pottery pierced with holes found in pile-dwellings are hypothesized to be cheese-strainers. They are of the Urnfield culture on Lake Neuchatel and date back to 6,000 BCE. The earliest direct evidence of cheese-making dates back to 5,500 BCE in Kujawy, Poland. For preservation purposes, cheese-making may have begun by the pressing and salting of curdled milk. Curdling milk in an animal's stomach made solid and better-textured curds, leading to the addition of rennet. Dairying existed around 4,000 BC in the grasslands of the Sahara. Hard salted cheese is likely to have accompanied dairying
