Cheese Straws

Our Southern-style cheese straws are the perfect balance of buttery, cheesy, and just a hint of spice. Crispy on the outside, tender inside, and loaded with rich cheddar flavor, they’re a timeless snack that’s equally at home at holiday gatherings, casual get-togethers, or anytime you crave something savory. A touch of red pepper adds a subtle kick, giving these classic treats a little extra personality. Each batch is handmade in small quantities to ensure perfect texture, flavor, and crunch. 

A Little History of Cheese Straws

Cheese straws are a beloved Southern tradition with roots going back to 18th-century England, where they started as simple savory biscuits made with cheese and butter. The recipe traveled across the Atlantic, where Southern bakers embraced and perfected them, often adding a bit of spice to create the crisp, flavorful snack we enjoy today. At By Faith and Flour, we honor this heritage by baking our cheese straws in small batches using real cheddar, butter, and a touch of love—just the way they’ve been enjoyed for generations.
