Parmesan cheese is a hard, aged Italian cheese most often used grated over pasta, risotto, or baked into pastry crusts and breads. One metric cup (250 ml) of grated Parmesan weighs around 100 grams or 3.53 ounces. When a recipe calls for a cup of grated Parmesan, the weight can vary by how finely it is grated and how loosely it is packed, so measuring by grams gives the most reliable result.

Grated Parmesan is notoriously inconsistent by volume: a loosely filled cup and a firmly packed one can differ by 20 grams or more. Weighing in grams removes that guesswork.

  • Parmigiano-Reggiano
  • parmesan
  • grated parmesan

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 our Cream Cheese converter.

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 our Pecorino Romano converter.
