About Pecorino romano

Pecorino Romano is a hard, salty Italian cheese made from sheep's milk, originating over 2,000 years ago in the Lazio region of Italy. A key ingredient in traditional Italian cuisine, this cheese is known for its sharp, tangy flavor and crumbly texture, making it ideal for grating over pasta, soups, and salads. Pecorino Romano is rich in protein, calcium, and essential fatty acids, beneficial for bone health and muscle repair. However, it is high in sodium and saturated fats, so it should be enjoyed in moderation. Naturally lactose-free, it's a suitable option for individuals with lactose intolerance. Its robust flavor means that a little goes a long way in recipes, allowing you to enhance dishes without overindulging.
