The Best Ways to Eat String Cheese
Amongst string cheese aficionados, there are many disputed ‘best ways’ to eat string cheese. Over the years, our team has heard of many common, family favorite, and straight-up strange methods for eating string cheese. Which is your favorite method?
Simple Stringing Method
This tried and true way of eating string cheese is the basic, straightforward peel-and-enjoy method. String cheese is inherently stringy and, as a result, lends itself well to slowing peeling and enjoying each little bite.

If the standard peel-and-eat method is not quite enough fun for you, some serious string cheese eaters have crafted their own peeling methods. The result? Animals, objects, and more, created from string cheese! Try your luck at these options:
- String cheese octopus
- String cheese snowflake
- String cheese lion
- String cheese people
Eat String Cheese Whole
