A soft, moist white cheese with a bland but semisweet flavor. It can also be dried and used for grating. String Cheese A light, creamy, smooth, well knitted mozzarella type cheese that is stringy when peeled. String cheese has a fresh, clean, slightly salty flavor and other flavors may be added. Swiss Cheese A hard, smooth, pale yellow cheese and is best known because of the large eye formation.
Swiss cheese has a mild, sweet, nutlike flavor.
Each time the cheese is opened, rewrap in a new plastic wrap and return to the refrigerator. When cheese is left uncovered for too long, it will become dried-out, leaving hard places around the edges. In this case, the hard area can be cut off and used for grating purposes unless the product is spoiled. Soft and semisoft cheese textures and flavors break down, normally in six to eight weeks with slight variations. They do not age.
