What it is

Dehydrated Romano cheese is a hard, salty Italian cheese made from cow's milk or a mixture of cow's and sheep's milk. The cheese is aged, then dried to remove moisture, resulting in a concentrated flavor and a longer shelf life. It is often grated or powdered for use in cooking.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add dehydrated Romano cheese as a flavoring ingredient to enhance the savory, salty taste of foods. Its concentrated flavor means a small amount can add significant impact. It is commonly found in pizza, pasta dishes, bread coatings, and seasoned snack foods.

Health notes

Dehydrated Romano cheese is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. As a dairy product, it is a source of calcium and protein. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated cheese and dairy products. Typical consumption levels are not associated with adverse health effects for most people.

Allergen info

Dehydrated Romano cheese is derived from milk, which is one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
