You don't have to buy a Ninja to grate cheese. A small chopper/processor works fine or grate by hand with a microplane, zester or rasp. From BBB:

I prefer Pecorino Romano and my grocery store grinds it fresh. There are no fillers in it.

I do buy Kraft (only Kraft) and have it in my pantry but will mostly buy fresh parm and grate it myself.... as a matter of fact I only buy block cheeze...

i buy a small block of aged parm and grate it . it is expensive per pound but its the real deal. i only buy a bit at a time becuase it can go moldy.
someone else here uses the package stuff. has powdered cellulose.

Ive had canned and I have had freshly grated and I like canned better--there is just a better flavor to me in the canned kind. But I won't buy shredded cheddar in a package--I grate that off of a block myself because the pre-shredded cheddar tastes like rubber and there is sometimes weird white stuff like flour on it

I buy a huge wedge from Costco and shred it myself then put it in small food saver bags. I seal and then freeze it. No change in look or taste. I hiighly recomment this as the stuff in the green can is not for human consumptioin IMHO

Thing of it is, if you like Doritos, Cheetos, Cheezits, etc. you're eating basically the same thing. Junk cheese.
I stay away from them because I'm vegetarian and most 'packaged' cheese flavored products use animal rennet (calf stomach) in their cheese making process. Absolutely no temptation for me!

You don't need a VitaMix to grate parm. Just a microplane and grate it fresh over the food.

I have always bought the fresh, and use a microplane or processor for grating.

growing up we ALWAYS used the kraft parmesan cheese in the green can.
we are still around to talk about it. LOL
now i do either buy a chunk of parmesan and shred it myself OR i buy the containers from THE FRESH MARKET where they shred it for you......or shave it.
i dont care for parmesan reggiano, but i do like a parmesan/romano blend or a pecorino romano. i also like asiago.
