Convenience products are super helpful in allowing us more time to work, socialize and do the leisure activities we love, and pre-shredded cheese is one of the most popular. It is a dream for saving time when whipping up a quick pizza or plate of nachos, however, it does have some distinct differences from regular cheese bought in block form.
As a convenience product, in my humble opinion, pre-shredded cheese is almost unbeatable (my pet peeve is washing cheese graters), however I have rounded up some information about why you may want to reconsider using it.
