Proudly presenting a variety of Parmesan and Pecorino Romano Cheeses to our Roma®, Raffinato®, and Ultimo!® brand portfolios!
The selection of Roma, Raffinato, and Ultimo! Cheeses brings authentic flavor profiles to any table. These domestic and imported cheeses are traditionally crafted and aged to perfection, yielding the highest quality Italian hard cheeses available. These domestic and imported cheeses are available in grated and shredded varieties. This line of Italian-style hard cheeses is ideal to use in any Italian recipe as well as in many non-Italian dishes.
Italian-style hard cheeses have a lower moisture content than other styles of cheese. This allows for a distinctive texture perfect for grated, or shredded applications. Parmesan Cheese is a hard, granular cheese made from cow’s milk and aged for several months. The aging process gives Parmesan its distinct crumbly texture and rich, savory, umami flavor with hints of nuttiness.

Pecorino Romano Cheese is a hard, salty, Italian cheese made from sheep’s milk, and known for its sharp, tangy flavor and firm texture. Unlike cow’s milk cheeses, the sheep’s milk gives Pecorino Romano a more pronounced and tangier flavor with a peppery finish. As it ages, the cheese becomes harder, with a crystalline texture that crumbles easily when cut or grated. The salty flavor makes it a popular ingredient for dishes where a strong, savory element is desired.

- Cacio e Pepe
- Carbonara
- Amatriciana
- Soups
- Salads
- Roasted vegetables
