Hello cheeseheads, probably the most stupid cheese related question ever, but, How would I produce the cheese that they use for the product "Cheesestrings"?

The reason I ask is my teenager is mad on the ruddy things and I figured I could whip up a batch and save a few bob in the process.

Advice please?!

from the little I could find out on the web, it sounds like your typical processed cheese extruded from a multyhole die so their in individualy strands. never tasted the stuff but somehow i thingk i would stick to regular chedar cheese

Extruded? Multihole? Slow down, I have never produced my own cheese, the terms are lost on me.

Thanks a lot though BlueCheese oh and if I were a cheese person like yourself then I'd avoid cheesestrings like the plague.

Anybody else know?

Quite how you would get or make cheese with the properties to go in a machine and be extruded like that are another matter

LOL !
Bottom line is its a pain in the ass

I believe they make it by the same method as mozzarella. Stretching, pulling and winding. Then again and again until the cheese is smooth and stretchy. You can acheive the same result with any cheese by pulling it constantly.
