Kerry exports Gouda Cheestrings from Charleville, County Cork to the Netherlands, and a Gouda- Emmental mix to France, where the product is known as Ficello. Discontinued flavours include cheddar, smoky bacon, and pizza, with the pizza flavour being reintroduced in May 2021 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Cheestrings. Ĭheestrings are currently available in Original (a cheese akin to mozzarella) and the two-colour Twisted variety. They are made from real cheese, not processed cheese, by Kerry Group and the mascot is a cartoon character called Mr Strings. It is made from fermented sheep's milk and cream allowed to mature for 60 days in a salted and dried veal stomach.Ĭheestrings became a popular snack in the UK and Republic of Ireland soon after their introduction in 1996. In Georgia and Russia string cheese is known as tenili ( ტენილი ყველი, Тенили ). It is also made in Syria and Turkey, both countries with significant Armenian populations. The cheese forms into strings due to how it is pulled during processing. It is seasoned with black cumin and mahleb, and is traditionally sold in the form of a braided endless loop. The type of milk used usually comes from an aged goat or sheep depending upon the production methods of the area of choice. In Armenia, traditional string cheese, chechil, is made with a white base.

The stringy texture of dil becomes even more prominent when the cheese is melted. In Turkey, the most common type of string cheese is dil peyniri ("tongue cheese"), a fresh white cheese made from cow's milk, traditionally in the provinces of Bilecik and Bursa. It is traditionally made by hand-pulling steamed sheep's cheese into strings and braiding them. In Slovakia, korbáčiky is made, which is a salty sheep milk cheese, available smoked or unsmoked.
