Watch: World's largest string cheese ball made in Mexico

Sept. 6 (UPI) -- A Mexican city hosted a successful attempt for a tasty Guinness World Record: the world's largest string cheese ball.

The Oaxaca state government and the municipality of Reyes Etla teamed up to organize the record attempt.

The cheese makers used a rotating table to create the massive string cheese ball, which is also known as Oaxaca cheese.

The finished ball broke the record at 1,402.58 pounds.

Organizers said it took 2,641 gallons of milk to create the cheese.
