What it is
Romano cheese is a hard, salty cheese with a sharp flavor and granular texture. It is traditionally made from sheep's milk, but versions made from cow's or goat's milk are also available. The cheese is aged for several months to develop its distinct characteristics.
Why it's used
As a "spice topping," Romano cheese is used to add a savory, salty, and umami flavor to various dishes. It is commonly grated over foods like pizza, pasta, and salads. Its firm texture also contributes to the overall mouthfeel of a dish.
Health notes
Romano cheese is considered a food ingredient and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Like other dairy products, it contains saturated fat and sodium, and should be consumed as part of a balanced diet. There are no specific health controversies associated with Romano cheese itself, beyond general dietary recommendations for dairy products. JECFA and EFSA typically evaluate food additives, not whole foods like cheese.
Allergen info
This ingredient is derived from milk, which is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
