What it is

Romano cheese is a hard, salty Italian cheese traditionally made from sheep's milk. It is made by coagulating milk with rennet and then aging the curd for at least 5 months. The cheese is often grated and used as a topping or ingredient.

Why it's used

Romano cheese is primarily used as a flavoring agent, adding a sharp, salty taste to foods. It is commonly found in pasta dishes, pizzas, and frozen entrees. Its strong flavor makes it a popular alternative or addition to Parmesan cheese.

Health notes

Romano cheese is a natural food ingredient and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of protein, calcium, and other nutrients. While generally safe, its high sodium content means individuals monitoring their salt intake should consume it in moderation. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated cheese and dairy products.

Allergen info

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