Why does mozzarella cheese form strings or threads as opposed to other similar cheeses that do not?
In: 2
It comes down to how the cheeses are made. Cheddar, for example, is pressed together. Mozzarella on the other hand is heated a bit higher and folded and stretched together – allowing the proteins to form into longer strands which give it the stringiness you don’t find in cheddar (and other cheeses).
