Grated cheese is any hard or semi-hard cheese that has been shredded into fine strands, commonly used as a topping or stirred into sauces, bakes, and gratins. One metric cup (250 ml) of grated cheese weighs around 100 grams or 3.53 ounces. When a recipe calls for a cup of grated cheese, measuring by grams gives a more reliable result, as how finely the cheese is grated and how loosely it is packed both affect the volume.

A loosely filled cup of grated cheese and a firmly packed one can differ by 20 grams or more. Measuring in grams ensures the right amount of cheese for melting, browning, and flavour balance in every dish.
