I know. Its taken me decades to make this decision but I'm ready. Change is always somewhat uncomfortable but is often for the best.
So.... I've been using the big green jar for parmesan cheese all my life.
What is a better brand to keep in fridge for when you need it?

Just get a chunk at the grocery and a microplane. You don't need the big arse wheel or shaker jar.

+1 Microplane is definitely the way to go!

This is what I do. It lasts a long time too because microplaned parm is so light and airy.
If there's a rind on it, throw it in your freezer when you're finished with the cheese and use it next time you make a soup. Just toss that sucker in and let it simmer with the soup a couple hours. Delicious.

This stuff at Costco in the giant white bag. It has an amazing subtle nutty flavor. I could eat that shite by the handful.

This is all you need. So easy.

Any particular type of Parmesan cheese?

Parmigiano-Reggiano
There are some really good domestically produced Parmigianos but, they are not nearly as good the real thing.
How do you know you're getting the real imported Parmigiano-Reggiano? It's about $20-$30/#.

I buy the wedges and grate it with a hand held gratd. It's a hard cheese so it grates really well, you dont need any special equipment. Fresh grated is a lot better than that jar crap.

smart, considering almost all grated "green jar" cheese contains "cellulose"/wood powder

Like $14/lb at Costco when you buy that big wedge. I cut it up and vac seal in smaller portions.

Idc what anybody says...I can appreciate great parmesan cheese on pasta and meatsauce... but when I get the urge for pasta and meat sauce...i always imagine it with the green jar stuff, some peas, with bread and butter
