I have issues with this
If a recipe calls for 8 oz shredded cheese I buy an 8 oz block of cheese & shred it
I have since realized I’m supposed to measure based off of the shredded cheese, not the block, right?

Measuring Cheese

All cheeses are equal in our hearts, but when it comes to measuring cheeses accurately it’s all about the type of cheese. Soft cheeses are heavier per cup, while hard cheeses are lighter. Here’s what we recommend:

• Soft or crumbly cheeses (e.g. feta or blue) 1 cup = 6 ounces

• Semi-hard cheeses (e.g. cheddar or Havarti) 1 cup = 4 ounces

• Hard cheeses (e.g. parmesan or asiago) 1 cup = 3 ounces
