Roomano
Type of cheese from the Netherlands
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Roomano (Dutch: [roːˈmaːnoː]) is an aged hard Gouda-style cheese from Friesland in the northern Netherlands.
While butterfat requirements for Gouda are 48% butterfat or more, Roomano contains less than 48% butterfat.[1] It is made from cow's milk, and is typically aged for four or more years.[1][2] The cheese's flavor is very complex, salty and sweet with hints of roasted hazelnut and toffee.[2]
The cheese pairs well with strong flavors such as aged sherries, ports or Belgian ales.
