In the video, a person is seen holding a block of cheese in their hand. They then proceed to grate the cheese using a grater. The person moves the cheese block back and forth across the grater, creating small shreds of cheese. The grater appears to be made of metal and has a handle on the side for easy gripping. The cheese block is a pale yellow color, and the grated cheese falls onto a white plate below. The person's movements are steady and controlled, ensuring that the cheese is grated evenly.
