Roomano (Dutch pronunciation: [roːˈmaːnoː]) is a hard Gouda-like cheese from Friesland in the northern Netherlands.
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.
It pairs well with aged sherries, port or Belgian-style ales.
Roomano is a rare cheese to find, even in the Netherlands.
