What it is
Romano cheese paste is a concentrated form of Romano cheese, a hard, salty Italian cheese traditionally made from sheep's milk. It is produced by processing Romano cheese to achieve a smooth, paste-like consistency, often by removing some moisture and fat.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use Romano cheese paste primarily as a flavor ingredient, adding a sharp, salty, and savory taste to foods. It is commonly found in pasta dishes, frozen entrees, sauces, and snack foods where a strong cheese flavor is desired.
Health notes
Romano cheese paste is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of calcium and protein. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated cheese and dairy products, but specific evaluations for Romano cheese paste are not widely published. As with any dairy product, excessive intake of sodium from Romano cheese paste could be a concern for individuals managing blood pressure.
Allergen info
Romano cheese is derived from milk, making it a major allergen. It does not contain gluten.
