Why grated Gruyère weighs less than cheddar
Gruyère grates finer and lighter than cheddar, so a cup weighs only about 100 g rather than 113 g — worth knowing when you swap one for the other in a gratin or quiche. It melts exceptionally smoothly without turning oily, which is why it's the classic choice for fondue, French onion soup and croque monsieur. A pound of block Gruyère grates to roughly 4–4½ cups. If a recipe blends it with cheddar or Emmental, weigh each cheese separately, since their cup weights differ.
