Romano Cheese

	Romano cheese is a very hard cheese that is usually grated to use. The cheese has a salty, sharp taste. While most Italian romano is produced from sheep or goats milk, the cheese created in America is produced largely from cow’s milk. Romano comes in a number of varieties including Pecorino romano, Vacchino romano, and Caprino romano.
