What it is

Romano cheese made with cow's milk is a hard, salty, and pungent cheese that originated in Italy. It is traditionally made from sheep's milk (Pecorino Romano), but versions made from cow's milk are also common. The cheese is aged for several months, which contributes to its firm texture and strong flavor.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add Romano cheese for its distinctive sharp, salty flavor and granular texture. It is often grated over pasta dishes, used in baked goods, or incorporated into sauces and salads. It serves as a flavor enhancer and a source of dairy in many prepared foods.

Health notes

Romano cheese made with cow's milk is regulated by the FDA as a food product. As a dairy product, it is a source of calcium and protein. There are no specific health controversies unique to Romano cheese made with cow's milk beyond general discussions about dairy consumption. JECFA and EFSA do not typically evaluate whole foods like cheese in the same way they do food additives.

Allergen info

This ingredient is derived from milk, which is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
