Shredded Cheese: Grams to Cups

Convert grams of shredded cheese to cups. 1 US cup = 113g (loosely packed). Shredded cheese is measured loosely — not pressed down — as packing it changes the measurement significantly.

Shredded cheese weight varies by moisture content. Low-moisture mozzarella (113g/cup) and cheddar (113g/cup) are similar. Parmesan, being drier and finely grated, is lighter at about 80g per cup. Ricotta and cream cheese are not shredded and measure differently.
