Pecorino Romano

Pecorino Romano is a salty, hard Italian sheep's milk cheese traditionally from Lazio and Sardinia, commonly grated over pasta, used in soups or enjoyed in thin shards. It is prized for its sharp, savory flavor and long aging that gives a crumbly, granular texture. Nutritionally, Pecorino Romano is a concentrated source of animal protein, providing about 28g of protein per 100g, and it also supplies substantial calcium and vitamin B12; at the same time it is high in saturated fat and sodium, so small amounts go a long way in cooking. From a health perspective, it delivers high-quality amino acids and bone-supporting minerals, making it useful for boosting protein and calcium intake, but it should be used sparingly if you are watching saturated fat or salt intake.Read more
