About Cheestrings
Cheestrings is the iconic British peelable cheese snack that has been a lunchbox staple since its launch in 1996. The unique stringy texture allows children to pull apart the cheese into thin strands, making eating fun and interactive while providing calcium and protein. The product is made from mozzarella-style cheese that is stretched during production, creating its signature pull-apart texture. Unlike regular cheese slices, Cheestrings engage children in their food, turning snack time into a playful experience - a clever approach that has made the brand a childhood favourite for generations. The Original Cheestrings remains the bestseller, offering mild cheesy flavour that appeals to young palates. The Twisted variety features a spiral shape for extra textural interest and visual appeal. Pizza Flavour Cheestrings add tomato and herb seasoning for children who enjoy pizza taste. All varieties maintain the signature peelable texture. Cheestrings are individually wrapped, making them hygienic for packed lunches and convenient for on-the-go snacking. The single-serve format helps with portion control while providing a source of calcium important for growing children's bones and teeth. Now part of the "Strings & Things" brand family (owned by Kerry Foods), Cheestrings continues to innovate with new flavours and formats. The brand has maintained its position as the UK's leading string cheese despite competition from supermarket own-label alternatives. Available at all major UK supermarkets in multipacks (typically 4, 8, or 12 sticks), Cheestrings offers an affordable, convenient way to include dairy in children's diets.
