Pre-shredded cheese is usually not a good choice. It dries out and loses its taste that way. Also, Reggiano is not a cheese, it's a location. You might have meant Pecorino Romano.
It might have said shredded Romano.. I should have written them down but wasn't planning this it, LOL.
The tubs they are in don't have that much in them, maybe about what I would use in one recipe for my family of 5, so for me they wouldn't have time to dry out once I opened it.
But yea not the best choice, but to be a choice they would have to offer it in block for as well not just shredded. Shredded is better than none at all.
As for the talk about the green tube and sawdust, I don't recall ever saying it was sawdust or unacceptable. I do recall saying I had it in my fridge, so yes I do buy it and use it. I also said given a choice I would go with the better cheeses, I think they are far more flavorful and much tastier. I am not poo pooing anyones taste or putting them down, I am referring to my own tastes and what I like, my own choices and why I make them.
I think it is silly to take offense at someone else's personal preferences, but that is only my opinion as well. Maybe calling it sawdust is harsh, but if that is what it tastes like to someone else, well then that is just what it tastes like to someone else.
Kinda the whole point of discussions I think...
