agxo3 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Does anyone knows where I can get a pecorino romano and regiano cheese??? Pwede ba ang parmesan cheese as substitute for those mentioned above for the pesto sauce???<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Parmesan is typically the non-Italian perversion of parmigiano reggiano (the second of the two you asked for), although one source says grana padano is sometimes called parmesan as well. Parmigiano is from the Parma region of Italy, which is also the source of Parma ham. Parmigiano reggiano and pecorino romano are aged, dry and quite sharp, pargmigiano reggiano usually being aged 18 months or more. Goes well with a good cabernet suavignon or sangiovese. Grana padano may also show up labeled "parmesan". It's similar although typically aged less than parmigiano reggiano, comes from other parts of Italy, typically Lombardy. Very nice, creamy but with a hint of sharpness to it. A bit softer, and not as crumbly. Pecorino romano is an aged sheep's milk cheese usually from Sardinia (although there are producers in other parts of Italy as well). Like parmigiano, it is a hard, crumbly sharp cheese ideal for grating and serving over or with pasta. To your second question - a more appropriate question would be, "Is parmesan (Kraft or other brand) an adequate substitute for parmigiano reggiano?" And the answer is - it depends on how authentic you want to be and how picky your taste buds are! Pesto traditionally calls for parmigiano reggiano, but many substitute perocino romano and even grana padano. I would NOT substitute anything other than these cheeses, personally. The Kraft version of these cheese is much blander and doesn't blend or melt quite the same way as the real stuff. Quote Link to comment
