Wisconsin dairy breaks own record for longest string cheese
June 26, 2021 GMT
WEYAUWEGA, Wis. (AP) Wisconsin is famous for cheese, and one of its dairies is claiming a new feat.
Weyauwega Star Dairy this week unofficially broke its own record for the world’s longest piece of string cheese at 3,832 feet, WLUK-TV reported. Gerard Knaus’ 85-year-old father, Jim, set the original record in 1995. The Knauses beat their 1995 record in 2006 with a piece about 2,000 feet long.
“We’re just adding onto his record,” Gerard Knaus told the station. “That’s all we’re doing.”
To do that, the cheesemakers needed a good slice of Weyauwega’s more than 1,700 residents. Standing seven feet apart, on a shut-down Main Street, residents of the northeastern Wisconsin town grabbed a piece of the potential record as it was uncoiled from a trailer pulled by a tractor Thursday.
