What it is
Romano cheese is a hard, salty Italian cheese traditionally made from sheep's milk, though versions from cow's or goat's milk also exist. A "Romano Cheese Blend" typically combines Romano cheese with other cheeses or ingredients to achieve a desired flavor and texture profile. It is made by curdling milk, pressing the curds, and then aging the cheese.
Why it's used
This blend is primarily used to add a distinct savory, salty, and sharp cheese flavor to various dishes. It is commonly found in prepared foods like pasta sauces, frozen dinners, mashed potatoes, and pizzas, where it enhances the overall taste.
Health notes
Romano cheese blend is considered a food ingredient and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used appropriately. As a dairy product, it contributes protein, fat, and sodium to the diet. There are no specific regulatory concerns or controversies associated with Romano cheese blend beyond general dietary considerations for dairy products. JECFA and EFSA typically evaluate food additives, not whole food ingredients like cheese.
