What it is
Romano cheese is a hard, salty Italian-style cheese traditionally made from sheep's milk. However, in the United States, it is commonly made from cow's milk and is often aged for at least five months. It has a sharp, tangy flavor and a granular texture.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use Romano cheese primarily as a flavoring ingredient, adding a sharp, salty taste to foods. It is frequently found in pasta dishes, sauces, bread, and cheese blends. Its strong flavor makes it a good substitute for or complement to Parmesan cheese.
