What's the difference between Romano and Pecorino Romano cheese?
Pecorino Romano cheese doesn't come from cow's milk like most Romano cheese, but sheep's milk instead. Romano can also come from goat or sheep's milk, but most brands found in grocery stores come from less expensive cow's milk.
Most Pecorino Romano in US grocery stores also comes from cow's milk, but true Pecorino Romano comes from sheep.
Pecorino Romano is a crumbly hard white cheese with a sharp, salty taste. Romano cheese has a slightly deeper yellow color by comparison and a milder flavor.

Is Pecorino cheese good for weight loss?
Cheese can't be considered good for weight loss, but small amounts of cheese, especially hard cheeses like Pecorino, can be added to most meal plans to provide extra flavor and make meals more satisfying.
Pecorino used as an accent and added sparingly for flavor is a healthier choice than higher-fat softer cheeses and condiments.
