Product Description: Natural Romano Cheese delivers an immediate punch of salty, slightly nutty, tangy sharpness. It has a bold, rich, creamy flavor with a slight crystalline crunch and is commonly used in Italian cuisine.

Pairings and Complementary Flavors:

Cocktails: Bloody Mary, Old Fashioned, Dirty Martini, Gin and Tonic, Sambuca
~ The spicy kick of Bloody Mary matches Romano’s boldness.
~ The sweet and smoky profile of an Old Fashioned highlights the cheese’s robust flavor.
~ A Dirty Martini’s salty olive juice complements the saltiness of Romano cheese, making for a harmonious match.
~ The aromatic botanicals in a classic Gin and Tonic provide a refreshing counterpoint to Romano’s saltiness.
~ Sambuca’s strong anise-flavored liqueur offers an intriguing pairing with a unique sweet and aromatic contrast.

Wine: Pinot Grigio, Vermentino, Prosecco, Lambrusco, Syrah
~ A crisp and light Pinot Grigio offers a refreshing contrast to the cheese.
~ An Italian Vermentino‘s mineral-forward profile and acidity make it a natural choice for Romano cheese.
~ Prosecco‘s effervescence and light fruitiness prove refreshing, while Lambrusco offers fruity notes and slight fizziness to create an exciting variation.
~ Syrah‘s spicy, dark fruit flavor can be a great partner to the robustness of Romano cheese.

Beer: IPA, Pilsner, Sour Ale, Stout, Amber Ale
~ The hop-forward nature and bitterness of IPA cut through the saltiness of the cheese, while a Pilsner, with a crisp and light body, is a refreshing match.
~ Sour Ale’s tang and acidity accentuate the sharpness of the Romano, making it a complementary match.
~ The roasted malts and chocolate or coffee notes in Stout provide an interesting pairing, while the balanced malt sweetness and hop bitterness of Amber Ale stand up to the cheese’s robustness to create a harmonious pairing.

Accompaniments: fruits, honey, balsamic vinegar, nuts, meats, marinated vegetables, dark chocolate
~ Apples, pears, and grapes supply a refreshing counterpoint to the saltiness of Romano cheese, while dried fruit introduces a concentrated sweetness that enhances both flavors. Honey supplies sweetness to play against the saltiness, while Balsamic vinegar introduces a sweet, tart profile that complements the cheese’s richness.
~ Almonds and walnuts offer a crunchy texture;
~ Prosciutto or salami complements the cheese’s savory profile and olives.
~ Marinated artichoke hearts, pickled onions, or roasted red peppers offer tanginess that matches Romano’s saltiness.
