Related to Grated Cheese
Parmesan Cheese
Parmesan is a sharper, nuttier upgrade for generic grated cheese: both weigh 100 g per cup, so the volume measure stays the same. Parmesan's stronger flavour means you may want to use slightly less; it works best in pasta, risottos, and gratins where a distinct, aged-cheese note is welcome. See our Parmesan Cheese converter.
Pecorino Romano
Pecorino Romano is a sharper, saltier alternative to generic grated cheese: both weigh 100 g per cup, but Pecorino's bold sheep's-milk flavour is more intense. Use it where a stronger, more distinctive cheese note is wanted, and reduce any added salt in the recipe to compensate. See our Pecorino Romano converter.
