• To shred cheesewith soft texture, use a grater with large holes or chop it finely.
• Slice or shred cheese right out of the refrigerator. Use a cheese slicer or a very sharp knife to cut the cheese into thin slices.
• Shred or cut cheese into small pieces to make cheese melt and shred better.
• Store cheese in a tightly-covered container with a few sugar cubes to keep it from developing mold.
