Oxygen mixes with the cheese, increasing the flavor
and making the mouthfeel less fatty.

I know exactly what he/she is talking about and no, I did not do the
original post. ;-)

I've noted that when I take sliced cheese and melt it as opposed to
grabbing a handful of pre-grated cheese out of the freezer (that I can
get in 2 lb. bags from HEB) and put that on a recipe to melt, the
flavor is fuller and richer, and yummier.

I've no clu' why, but I have also observed this.

That's not grated, that frozen shit is "shredded"...doubtful it's even
cheese... 'cause there is no such thing as good tasting frozen cheese. It's
probably "asscheese".... 'cause that's where your taste is.
Ahahahahahahahahahaha. . . .

Your flames are on a par with elementary school children playing in a

Yes, it does... to some of us anyway. :-)

Melted grated cheese on crackers with a snip of butter
on club crackers with tomatoes is one of my favorite midnight snacks.
Don't forget the grated fresh garlic.

Does not taste the same with sliced cheese.

Grated cheese does not taste better than whole cheese to me.

Grating also exposes more surface area for the food odor to enter the
air. Since 'taste' is really a combo of 'taste & smell', you get a
bigger hit of Parmesean when encountering a (fresh-) grated mound than
a wedge or slice.

It might also (partially) be that while we can eat slices or chunks of
cheese by themselves, grating it usually involves being used as an
accent for other foods -- to garnish a salad or top a taco -- so the
"taste" of the cheese is inhanced by being Part of Something Big.

I like "asscheese" after ten or twelve shots of tequila.
That really takes the edge off of it.

Grated cheese melts in your mouth quicker too, maybey flavor from the
oils also help enhance the taste?

You're adding salted butter - salt on the crackers - and/or tomato.

Not the same as taking a piece of cheese and grating 1/2 then compare. Sure
the mouth feel is different the surface area of the grated cheese is larger
however grating does nothing to improve or diminish the flavor of the
cheese.

I dunno. Maybe less effort makes the taste difference.

Uh, ok, but I often stuff a bit of the fresh, unmelted, grated cheese
into my mouth while I am preparing this snack. ;-) It has more flavor,
to me, than the sliced cheese.

I'm not saying that you are anyone else is wrong, as we all have
differing tastes. :-) But I have to agree with the OP. Grated
mozarella has more flavor than biting into a slice, at least to me,
and evidently, him too...

I think Frogleg has the right of it as Oxygen mixing with food gives
it more flavor. Hence the tradition of "sipping" wine instead of
slugging it down to appreciate it's flavor more. There is FAR more
surface area to grated cheese than sliced.

I must play with the rotary grater more with other foods and see what
happens.

Maybe this is why I like salads so darned much? I grate different
veggies into it, such as radishes, zuchinni (or however the hell you
spell that veggie), carrots, etc. I also prefer julienned green beans
to cut green beans.
