Mook Mills Cheese Straws are a delightful snack that embodies the perfect blend of Southern tradition and mouth-watering flavor. Made with quality ingredients, these cheese straws are crispy, cheesy, and packed with a rich, savory taste that’s perfect for any occasion.
Mook Mills was founded in honor of Martha Grace Blackburn Mills, affectionately known as “Mooky.” Born in 1925 near the Tennessee River in Tuscumbia, Alabama, Mooky was known for her warmth and hospitality. During WWII, she worked as a secretary before marrying her high school sweetheart, Harold Fay, in 1946. After Fay’s return from the US Navy, Mooky devoted her life to caring for their five children, supporting her husband, and operating the family hardware store.

Mook Mills Cheese Straws were born out of Mooky’s love for cooking and sharing delicious treats with her community. Her cheese straws quickly became a local favorite, cherished for their perfect blend of cheesy goodness and crisp texture. Even after her passing in 1999, Mooky’s passion for quality and flavor lives on through these beloved snacks.
Whether you’re hosting a party, looking for a tasty snack, or need a unique gift, Mook Mills Cheese Straws are the way to go. Find them at your local Piggly Wiggly store in Birmingham, AL, and enjoy a taste of local craftsmanship and culinary excellence.
