What it is

Romano cheese is a hard, salty Italian-style cheese traditionally made from sheep's milk. However, this version is made from pasteurized cow's milk, giving it a sharp, tangy flavor and granular texture.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use Romano cheese primarily for its strong, salty flavor, which adds a savory depth to foods. It is commonly found in Italian dishes like pasta sauces, pizzas, and as a topping for salads and roasted vegetables.

Health notes

Romano cheese made from pasteurized cow's milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of protein, calcium, and other nutrients. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated cheese and dairy products. While generally safe, its high sodium content means moderation is advised for those monitoring salt intake.

Allergen info

Romano cheese is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
