Oaxaca cheese is a string cheese that is traditionally pulled by hand. Wearing three layers of gloves in order to handle the 100-degree cheese ropes, Cesar and his wife, Heydi, pull the 50-pound ropes through their fingers into thinner and thinner strings before cutting them into sticks. The resulting award- winning cheese has a clean milky flavor, and a pleasant chewy texture.
