Do Parmigiano Reggiano and Grana Padano weigh the same?
Grated the same way, roughly yes: both are dry, hard cheeses. The fineness of the grater changes the weight of a cup far more than the name on the label.
A US cup of finely grated Parmesan, the dry kind sold in a shaker or tub, weighs 100 g according to the USDA, and a US tablespoon 5 g. That is light for a cheese: the fine powder traps a lot of air.
Freshly grated on a rasp it is even fluffier, and a cup weighs noticeably less. When a recipe gives grams, weigh the cheese rather than measuring it by the cup.
