About
Grated parmesan is an aged, hard Italian cheese whose loose shreds weigh less than half the weight of water.
With a typical bulk density of roughly 3.5 ounces per US cup (0.42 g/mL), grated parmesan traps a lot of air between its dry, hard particles. A solid wedge of this aged cow's milk cheese is dense, but grating it more than doubles the volume it takes up. It sits looser and lighter in a container than softer cheeses like shredded mozzarella or cheddar, which clump together more tightly.
From Wikipedia
Parmesan is an Italian hard, granular cheese produced from cow's milk and aged at least 12 months. It is a grana-type cheese, along with Grana Padano, the historic Granone Lodigiano, and others.
