Related Parmesan Cheese Ingredients
Cream cheese is a soft fresh cheese (230 g per cup), much denser and milder than grated Parmesan (100 g per cup). Recipes that call for one are rarely swappable for the other: Parmesan is typically used for its sharp, salty flavour, while cream cheese provides richness and body. See cream cheese in cups.
Mozzarella is a soft, mild Italian cheese that melts smoothly, while Parmesan is hard and aged. They serve different purposes in the kitchen and are rarely interchangeable, though both appear in Italian-style bakes. See our Mozzarella converter.
Generic grated cheese is typically milder and melts more readily than Parmesan. Both weigh around 100 g per cup when grated, but Parmesan has a sharper, saltier flavour so you can use less of it to achieve the same intensity. See our Grated Cheese converter.
Pecorino Romano is a hard Italian sheep's milk cheese with a sharper, saltier bite than Parmesan. Both weigh around 100 g per cup grated and are used in similar ways, but Pecorino's stronger flavour means recipes often call for slightly less of it. See pecorino romano in cups.
