Roomano (Dutch pronunciation: [roʊ̯.ˈmaː.noʊ̯]) is a hard Gouda-like cheese from Friesland in the northern Netherlands. The major difference with Gouda is the percentage of butterfat in the cheese: Gouda contains 48% butterfat or more while Roomano contains less than 48% butterfat. It is made from cow’s milk and is typically aged for four or more years. The cheese’s flavor is very complex salty and sweet with hints of butterscotch or toffee.
