Grandma's Secret Trick

Grandma always used the freshest ingredients. That's why she liked to grate the Parmesan cheese herself. She would let the piece of Parmesan come to room temperature before cutting it into chunks and grating it in her food processor with the metal blade. Grandma grated a large amount of cheese at one time and stored most of it in bags in the freezer. It kept for months this way, allowing her to measure it out as needed.
