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 an Ounce?

Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.

What is a Cup?

In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 2.83 cups, based on cheddar cheese (shredded) having a density of 113g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
First convert ounces to grams (1 ounce = 28.3495g), then divide by 113 (grams per cup). For 11.29 ounces: 11.29 × 28.3495 = 320.07g, then 320.07 ÷ 113 = 2.83 cups.
For the most accurate results, weigh cheddar cheese (shredded) on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring cup and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
Fat content has a small effect on density. Higher-fat versions are slightly lighter per volume because fat is less dense than water. The difference is usually under 5%, so this conversion works well for standard varieties.
Reverse the conversion: 2.83 cups × 113g/cup = 320.07g, then 320.07g ÷ 28.3495 = 11.29 ounces. Or use the Cups to Ounces converter.
