hard cheeses
Grateable dairy products
Hard cheeses are varieties that have been aged longer and contain less moisture than soft cheeses, resulting in a firm, often crumbly texture.
Examples include Parmesan, aged cheddar, and Pecorino Romano.
These cheeses typically have more concentrated, sharper flavors and can be grated or shaved.
The exclamation hard cheese! is British slang expressing mock or genuine sympathy for someone's misfortune, roughly equivalent to tough luck.
