What is difference between romano cheese and ricotta cheese?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The question is mixing the names. I believe it should be Parmesan - Reggiano and Pecorino - Romano. The are two different varieties of hard cheese with the Roman being sharper (saltier?) than the Parmesan. Both are used for grating but the Parmesan can also be used on a cheese tray as thin slices or "shaved" into a salad by using a potato peeler.

Foods that are left out in room temperature for more than an hour can begin bacteria growth. Our stomach acids can kill some of these bacterias but not all and some can make you very sick. Keep foods OUT of the danger zone- Above 45 degrees and Below 145 degrees. Between these temperatures bacteria lives and breeds on our foods.

Is ricotta cheese suitable for vegetarians?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, eating cheese is not eating meat.

It might have rennet (a coagulant) in it, which can be derived from either animal (most common) or vegetable sources. So, depending on how strictly vegetarian you are, you may or may not want to eat ricotta. You can try going on the company's website to see if if specifies the coagulant's source.

By law, all vegetarian products in the UK must be symbolised with a green V on the packaging so they can easily be spotted by vegetarians.
