What it is

Romano and blue cheese are both types of cheese made from cow's milk. Blue cheese is characterized by blue or green veins of mold (Penicillium roqueforti or Penicillium glaucum) that give it a distinct sharp flavor and aroma. Romano cheese is a hard, salty Italian cheese, traditionally made from sheep's milk, but often made from cow's milk in the US.

Why it's used

These cheeses are used to add a savory, sharp, and sometimes pungent flavor to a wide variety of foods. They are commonly found in snacks like popcorn, chips, and pretzels, as well as in prepared meals such as flavored rice dishes and pasta dishes.

Health notes

Romano and blue cheese are dairy products and are generally recognized as safe when consumed as part of a balanced diet. They are a source of protein, calcium, and other nutrients. Regulatory bodies like the FDA do not typically set specific limits for the consumption of cheese itself, as it is a whole food. However, some individuals may be sensitive to the high sodium content found in some aged cheeses.

Allergen info

Both Romano and blue cheese are derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
