Romano cheese has a rich history dating back over 2,000 years as one of Italy’s oldest cheeses. In Italy there are three types of Romano; pecorino (sheep), caprino (goat) and vacchino (cow). The Thornloe cheese makers have blended cow and goat milk to produce a very distinctive version of Romano cheese. This cheese has a rich creamy yellow colour, a slightly granular texture, and a sharp tangy, salty flavour. An excellent cheese which can be served over pastas, salads and green vegetables.
