How many oz of Parmesan cheese in a cup?

It's tricky to give an exact answer for how many ounces of Parmesan cheese are in a cup because:

* Parmesan comes in different forms: Grated, shredded, and block cheese all have different densities.

* Packing density matters: How tightly you pack the cheese in the cup will affect the weight.

However, here's a general guideline:

* Grated or shredded Parmesan: About 4 ounces of grated or shredded Parmesan cheese equals 1 cup.

* Block Parmesan: It's harder to estimate, but a rough conversion is that 1 cup of shredded cheese is equivalent to about 1/2 cup of block Parmesan.

For the most accurate measurement, weigh the cheese. It's always the best way to ensure you have the correct amount!
