grated cheese
Pasta's finishing flakes
Grated cheese is cheese that has been shredded into small pieces or thin strips, typically using a grater.
It melts more quickly and distributes more evenly than sliced or cubed cheese, making it ideal for topping pasta, pizza, or casseroles: a handful of grated cheese on the tacos.
Pre-grated cheese often contains anti-caking agents to prevent clumping.
