Morphology
The compound 'string cheese' transparently denotes cheese that is string-like or can be pulled into strings; a B1 learner who knows 'string' (a thin cord/thread) and 'cheese' will readily infer a cheese in string form. This noun+noun compositional pattern is straightforward and follows common cross-linguistic logic, so the meaning is predictable from the parts.
Etymology
String cheese comes from how the cheese can be pulled into long strings while you eat it. That's why 'string cheese' means a snack cheese you can peel or pull into thin strips.
