📜 History of National String Cheese Day

Although some believe that a Mexican adolescent, Leobarda Castellanos Garca, was the first to think of string cheese, Frank Baker is credited with developing cheese sticks in 1976. He didn’t like the shredded or cubed mozzarella cheese that others were using at the time, so he made his own. The initial version was shaped like a twisted rope.

He showed it around at parties and pubs to gauge the popular reaction. After a few years, the cylindrical shape became popular, and packaging for individual pieces increased shelf life. The invention quickly became a popular snack. While it is possible that others had the concept for string cheese at the same time as Baker, there is little evidence to support this.

This delectable snack can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Many people like to consume sticks by peeling them into smaller strands, while others prefer to chew them straight. Whatever method you select, one thing is certain: it tastes delicious.

Join foodies all across the world in celebrating this incredible snack. Bring it along for a picnic or a stroll in the park in the evening. You may even melt it and use it in your favorite dishes.
