Did I just get a bad batch, or is this the new recipe?

  1. I can’t speak to a recipe change because I don’t eat those, but I do work in a cheese factory. Sometimes, the salt just doesn’t mix in properly, and you end up with a super salty spot in your cheese product.

    The quality has definitely gone down the past couple of years, that’s why I stick with Galbani brand

    I love the brand, but I did get a batch like that a while back. So much salt it should have had a crunch.

    Yeah, I used to love this brand. But I quit buying it because the past few times it has been so salty.

    This is the only string cheese I buy (other than splurging) because it does have a nice soft salty flavor.

  6. Probably bad batch. I buy this brand fairly regularly and I’ve noted in the past that the salt levels are all over the place from bag to bag

    A picture of the back including the sodium content would probably be way more useful than the front as far as your question goes.

  8. I worked at a place that made their own cheese in a factory in New York, then they would ship it frozen to all the stores.
    Every batch tasted different. Most were goldilocks. We did have times the cheese was off. Sometimes it had a slight flat milk taste and was saltless, or it was super salty.

    Anyway I bought your same string cheese tonight, I’ll report back

  9. See, this and the posts about canned cheese is the reason we Europeans think this sub is a crime against humanity (and actual cheese).
