Romano originated in Italy and is often compared to its counterpart, Parmesan. However, in comparison to Parmesan, Romano has a more assertive, sharper flavor. Pecorino Romano is a specific type of Romano cheese. Unlike regular Romano, it is an Italian cheese made from sheep's milk. It is a highly desired cheese because of its salty with a slight nutty and lemony flavor.
