Pecorino Romano is a real cheese, as indicated above. Romano doesn't have
to do with being Roman, but that they use calvesė rennet to make it.
AFAIK,
no cheesemaker in Sardegna makes Pecorino Romano, but instead Pecorino
Sardo, which uses lamb's rennet.
It MUST be sheep's milk, and never as someone said earlier sometimes cow's
milk or even in part.
