Crumbled Cheese

Have you ever had a recipe that called for crumbled cheese and you picked up a package of pre-crumbled cheese at the grocery store only to find that the taste wasn't there? While these pre-crumbled cheeses are very handy and save you time in the kitchen, they do not taste the same as a hand-crumbled cheese. Their texture is generally dry and pasty when compared with hand-crumbled cheese where the texture is creamy. This is because the pre-crumbled cheeses have more surface area exposed, and so are more prone to drying. Larger pieces of cheese also have the advantage of being less expensive to purchase than their pre-crumbled counterparts.
