The most accurate way is to weigh parmesan (finely grated) on a kitchen scale. If you are measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring cup and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly from the container, which packs more in and gives a heavier result.

The form of the cheese matters more than the brand. Finely grated, shredded, shaved, and cubed cheese all have very different weights per measuring cup. This conversion uses parmesan (finely grated), so make sure your cheese matches that form before converting.

Weighing is more consistent than volume measuring. A cup of parmesan (finely grated) can vary by 10-20% depending on how it's scooped, packed, or leveled. Weighing gives the same result every time, which is especially important in baking where precision affects texture and rise.
