Description

Low-fat Romano cheese is a healthy variant of traditional Romano cheese, characterized by its firm texture and intense flavor, slightly salty and sharp. This cheese is made with partially skimmed milk, which reduces its fat content without sacrificing its robust flavor and its ability to grate and add a special touch to a wide variety of dishes.

Romano cheese originates from Italy, specifically the Lazio region, where it has been produced for centuries. Originally, it was made with sheep's milk and was used to season pastas, salads, and baked dishes.

Among its properties, its high content of protein and calcium, essential for bone health, stands out, while the low-fat version offers a lighter option for those looking to manage their intake of calories and saturated fats.

In the context of Latin American cuisine, low-fat Romano cheese may also be found under names like low-fat hard cheese or simply light Parmesan cheese, adapting to the traditional use of grated cheese for seasoning and enriching typical dishes such as pastas, soups, and stews.
