Romano cheese is a hard, salty cheese traditionally made from cow, sheep, or goat's milk, originating from Italy over 2,000 years ago. Known for its sharp, tangy flavor, Romano is a staple in Italian cuisine, often grated over pasta, soups, and salads. Nutritionally, it is rich in protein, calcium, and phosphorus, which contribute to bone health and muscle repair. However, Romano cheese is high in sodium and saturated fat, so moderation is recommended for those managing heart health or blood pressure. Its intense flavor means a little goes a long way, making it an excellent choice for enhancing dishes while controlling portions. Often aged for months, Romano develops its characteristic crumbly texture and pungent aroma, making it a favorite for bold culinary applications.
