About
Cheddar cheese is a firm natural cheese that packs about 9 ounces (256 grams) into a single measuring cup.
With a bulk density of about 67.4 pounds per cubic foot (1.08 grams per milliliter), cheddar cheese is slightly denser than water. A standard 8-ounce (227-gram) block takes up about 0.88 cups (210 milliliters) of space. It is denser than butter and soft cheeses, meaning it packs more mass into a smaller volume. When shredded, the added air space reduces its weight per cup by nearly half.
From Wikipedia
Cheddar cheese is a natural cheese that is relatively hard, off-white, and sometimes sharp-tasting. It originates from the village of Cheddar in Somerset, South West England.
