What it is
Dried Romano cheese is a hard, salty Italian cheese made from sheep's milk. It is aged for at least five months, which gives it a sharp, tangy flavor and a crumbly texture. The drying process concentrates its flavor and extends its shelf life.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use dried Romano cheese primarily as a flavoring agent, adding a savory, salty, and nutty taste to foods. It is often found in pasta dishes, salad dressings, dips, and as a topping for pizzas and baked goods.
Health notes
Dried Romano cheese is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of protein, calcium, and other nutrients. JECFA has evaluated cheese and related products. As with most dairy products, its sodium content can be high, which may be a concern for individuals monitoring their sodium intake.
Allergen info
Dried Romano cheese is derived from milk, which is one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
