Romano is an integral part of many southern Italian dishes, especially those that include pasta, tomatoes, potatoes, and other vegetables. A bit drier and saltier than northern Italian "Grana" cheeses (Parmigiano Reggiano and Grana Padano), this cheese is excellent grated over pasta dishes but is not recommended as an eating cheese. For an eating Romano, please try our Pecorino Romano Genuino by Lopez, which is still made in Lazio, the region surounding Rome.

Comments about Pecorino Romano by Zerto:
This cheese is absolutely delicious. The quality and taste is head and shoulders over that of the local Italian gourmet shop. It is really fresh, which might be the difference. It works for whatever you need a good quality Italian Romano for. We love it!

Comments about Pecorino Romano by Zerto:
Another good value grating cheese, but I guess I'm just spoiled by the superior flavor of Pecorino Romano.
