Pregnancy guidance

Recommended

Romano cheese is recommended during pregnancy as an outstanding hard cheese choice. It supplies concentrated calcium, complete protein, and vitamin B12 to foster fetal bone mineralization. Due to its long aging and very low moisture content, Romano does not support the growth of Listeria bacteria. Grate a small serving over cooked whole-grain pasta, soups, or roasted vegetables.
