>>21428181 (OP)>Is it actually hard to find non-shredded cheese in most of the USA?The shredded cheese and slices hang in bags on display hooks, the blocks of cheese are below on a refrigerated case or on a shelf. Is that hard to do? Nope. There tends to be a separate section somewhere else in the store like near the deli counter, sometimes, and this section might have blue and brie, and some imported wedges. It can be in both places, really, just know there are 2 areas most of the time, for those building charcuterie spreads or making special recipes like raclete or whatever. There might be pub cheese, pimento cheese in a tub, or crumbles of feta and blue near the salad kits, as well, like in the separate fresh produce area, near the refrigerated cold dressings like ranch or yogurt things. I like the dill pickle dip from marzetti or spicy hummus with carrots and mini cukes.
