What you need to shred your cheese at home
A block of cheese or more
A box grater I highly recommend this one because it has a receiving bowl you can attach at the bottom of the grater to catch the cheese as you shred. This is another great one that has a measurement function
If you would rather use a flat grater this safety grater is great for cheese or you could get this standard one.
How to store Homemade Shredded cheese
Simple just put unused portion in a freezer bag and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Now have I convinced you go shred your cheese at home.
