Where did cheddar cheese originate from?

Cheddar cheese is a relatively hard, yellow to off-white, and sometimes sharp-tasting cheese originally made in the English village of Cheddar in Somerset. Cheddar cheese is the most popular cheese in the United Kingdom, accounting for 51% of the country's £1.9 billion annual cheese market. Cheddar cheese is produced in many countries across the world, but only cheese produced in the English counties of Somerset, Devon, Dorset, and Cornwall may be given the EU Protected Designation of Origin name "West Country farmhouse Cheddar".

Does muenster cheese provolone cheese or Swiss have high moisture content?

Cheddar Cheese has a moisture of 39%. The moisture content of cheddar cheese varies so much with its aging, coloring (annatto), storage history and many other factors, I doubt that any single answer can be had to this question. For example, "young" cheddar is often described as "creamy", aged cheddar as "crumbly". The difference can be difficult to describe, but is quite obvious once you handle the two different versions. My guess would be that, if a recipe called for "mild", "medium" or "sharp", the originating chef (whose knowledge of the subject undoubtedly FAR outweighs mine!) has probably already estimated the approximate moisture content of an "average" cheddar in the specified "sharpness" classification, and compensated the remaining liquids in the recipe to accomodate it. Beyond that, you might need to get a'hold of Alton Brown...

How much is grams of grated cheese?

This depends on whether you mean how much is it in monitory terms or gram weight. An ounce is a 16th of a pound or it is 16 drams or it is 28.349 grams. Cheddar cheese is made and sold all over the World, but only "true" Cheddar is made in the town of Cheddar in Somerset in England. In monitory terms some cheese sellers would give you an ounce of Cheddar as a taster. Go to any "Farmer's Market" in the UK and they are giving very generous samples away. If you went into a supermarket to buy an ounce of Cheddar it would probably cost around 15p to 25p depending on the quality, age, maturity or strength and whether you buy it in a Deli or a Supermarket. Whilst I'm on the subject of cheese, a strong cheese is not definitely a mature cheese and visa versa. What makes a cheese strong is the amount of salt that they put in it.
