What it is

Romano cheese made from cow's milk is a hard, salty, and sharp Italian-style cheese. It is produced by aging cow's milk with specific bacterial cultures and enzymes, resulting in a firm texture and pungent flavor. This cheese is often grated due to its hard consistency.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add Romano cheese to products primarily for its distinct savory and salty flavor, as well as its texture. It is commonly found in prepared pasta sauces, pizzas, salad dressings, and various dough-based products to enhance their taste profile.

Health notes

Romano cheese is a food product regulated by the FDA, not a food additive. As a dairy product, it is generally considered safe for consumption by most individuals. However, like all dairy, it contains lactose, which can cause digestive discomfort in people with lactose intolerance. There are no specific health controversies unique to Romano cheese made from cow's milk.
