Measuring shredded cheddar cheese by cup and by weight
A cup of shredded cheddar, jack or mozzarella is about 113 g, or 4 ounces. That is a handy rule: an 8-ounce block of cheese makes about 2 cups shredded. Pre-shredded bagged cheese is coated with starch and packs a little differently from cheese you grate yourself, and finely grated cheese packs tighter than coarse shreds, so a cup of fine grate weighs more.
