What is cheese jerky?

"Cheese jerky" is not a common or widely recognized term in the food industry. It's possible you're referring to a specific product that uses cheese in a way that resembles jerky, or there might be a misunderstanding of the term.

Here's what we can deduce from the name:

* "Jerky" typically refers to dried, cured meat that is often thinly sliced and chewy.

* "Cheese" is a dairy product made from curdled milk.

Given this, it's likely that "cheese jerky" could refer to:

* A type of cheese snack that is dehydrated or dried, giving it a jerky-like texture. This could be a processed product made specifically to mimic jerky, or it could be a homemade creation using a specific type of cheese.

* A cheese that has a similar texture to jerky. Some cheeses, especially aged cheeses, develop a firm, chewy texture that may resemble jerky. However, they aren't typically considered "jerky" in the traditional sense.

Without more information about the specific product you're thinking of, it's difficult to provide a precise answer.
