What it is

This is a blend of two hard, aged Italian cheeses: Parmesan (Parmigiano-Reggiano) and Romano (Pecorino Romano). Both are traditionally made from cow's milk (Parmesan) or sheep's milk (Romano) and undergo a lengthy aging process that develops their sharp, salty flavor and granular texture.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add this blend to provide a strong, savory, salty flavor and a granular texture. It is commonly used as a topping for pizzas, pasta dishes, and frozen appetizers, as well as an ingredient in sauces and baked goods.

Health notes

The FDA lists both Parmesan and Romano cheeses as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). These cheeses are a source of protein, calcium, and other nutrients. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated cheese and its components, generally recognizing them as safe for consumption. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming these cheeses in typical amounts as part of a balanced diet.
