Light String Cheese by Sargento

Cheese provides an essential source of calcium and protein and should be included as part of a balanced diet, but it is also high in fat. Light String Cheese by Sargento is lower in fat, but still high in taste.
I had heard a lot about string cheese and seen adverts for various brands, but I thought that it was the sort of food that would appeal more to young children as their parents packed up their lunch box for the day. But on a trip to the supermarket one day, I went over to the dairy section and started looking closely at the different brands of string cheese. I settled for a 12 pack of Light String Cheese by Sargento. The cheese used is reduced fat low moisture mozzarella cheese, which contains a mild flavour compared to some other cheeses.
As I enjoy the taste of cheese, but I also like to watch my fat intake, I decided to give this brand of string cheese a try to see if I would like it.
When I opened the packaging, I noticed that the string cheese was individually wrapped and that it opened easily by pulling the two pieces of wrapper apart. I tried the string cheese and was instantly hooked. It tasted very good. Sometimes you can tell when food is lower in fat. The taste is not always as good, but with this product, the opposite was true.
