Cheese is such a personal thing… so many types and flavors, and I am definitely not a connoisseur. Our local Safeway has few spectacular cheeses but my best results have been their Primo Taglio brand in the deli, as well as Black Diamond 2yr sharp white cheddar, and their parmigiano regiano.
But for those of you buying pre-grated/shredded stuff… I’d recommend grating it yourself. The pre-done stuff has anti-caking agents such as cellulose, which affects the overall meltiness of it and texture in sauces. Not only are you “usually” paying more by the pound, it is polluted with non-cheese additives.
