What it is

Romano/oregano blend is a savory seasoning mix. It typically combines dried oregano, a pungent herb native to the Mediterranean region, with Romano cheese, a hard, salty Italian cheese made from sheep's milk. The blend is dried and ground for use in food preparation.

Why it's used

This blend is added to foods to provide a distinct cheesy and herbaceous flavor profile. It is commonly used in Italian-American dishes, particularly in pizza, pasta sauces, garlic bread, and other baked goods.

Health notes

Romano/oregano blend is considered a flavoring agent. The FDA lists oregano as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for its intended use as a food ingredient. Cheese is a source of calcium and protein. No specific health concerns are associated with the typical consumption of this blend as part of a balanced diet. International bodies like EFSA have evaluated oregano and cheese components, generally recognizing their safety.
