Cheese Sticks

Cheese Sticks

Everyday

Cheese sticks are breaded, deep-fried snacks typically made from low-moisture mozzarella that develop a crispy exterior and molten interior when cooked. While providing a good source of protein and calcium, their nutritional profile is impacted by the frying process, resulting in higher saturated fat and sodium content compared to plain cheese. Commonly served as appetizers with marinara sauce, these popular bar snacks may use gluten-free breading or baking preparation methods for dietary adaptations.
