The video shows a close-up of a block of cheese being shredded. The cheese is white and appears to be of a soft variety, such as mozzarella or provolone. The shredding is done using a metal grater with small holes, which allows the cheese to be shredded into thin, long strands. The cheese is being shredded onto a wooden cutting board, and the video captures the cheese as it falls in a continuous stream. The lighting is bright, and the focus is on the cheese and the grater, with the background blurred.
