What it is

Romano cheese is a hard, salty Italian cheese traditionally made from sheep's milk, though cow's milk and goat's milk versions are also common. It is aged for several months, which contributes to its firm texture and pungent flavor. This cheese is often grated and used as a condiment or ingredient.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add Romano cheese primarily for its distinct savory flavor and salty taste. It also contributes to the texture of dishes. It is commonly found in prepared entrees, side dishes, pasta sauces, and frozen appetizers.

Health notes
