I received an email from Nicole S. telling me that Sorrento string cheese was lactose free. Their website doesn't confirm this, but before I could go any further the enterprising Nicole contacted the company and received this excellent response.
String cheese is made when a special culture changes the milk sugar into lactic acid, however there is some residual lactose left.
Our lactose free string cheese has a special added enzyme that further breaks down the residual lactose into two other easily digested sugars- galactose and glucose. Thus lactose is eliminated!

Terrific.

Many thanks, Nicole!
I couldn't find this cheese any longer in my area so I wrote the company and they wrote me back.
