Armenian string cheese is an exotic change from fresh mozzarella if
you are looking for a mild, milky cheese with stretch.
Like mozzarella, Armenian string cheese is a filata cheese. This means
after the curds are formed, they are drained, then heated, salted and
pulled, doubled and pulled again and again, somewhat like taffy, to
form the elastic texture and fine separable strings we associate with
string cheeses. Then they are doubled up in pretty knots and stored in
brine or packaged in Cryovac. The cheese is sold fresh, with no aging.
According to Cheese.com, in Armenia it can be made with sheep, goat or
cows' milk. Locally available cheeses are made with whole cows' milk.
Pretty little black nigella seeds sprinkled throughout the cheese
supply texture and a sharp, oregano-like flavor
