How Much Is 660 Grams of Cheddar Cheese (Shredded) in Cups?
660 grams of cheddar cheese (shredded) equals 5.84 cups. Cheddar cheese (shredded) has a density of 113g per cup. A lighter ingredient like cocoa powder (86g/cup) would fill even more volume at the same weight, which is why ingredient-specific conversions matter.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 660 grams of cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 cup of cheddar cheese (shredded) = 113g
- 660g ÷ 113g/cup = 5.84 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Always shred or grate cheese before measuring by volume. A cup of block cheese weighs much more than a cup of shredded.

Understanding the Units
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
What is a Cup?
The US cup (236.588 ml) is slightly smaller than the metric cup used in Australia and some other countries (250 ml). When following recipes from different countries, check which cup standard is being used.
