About
Grated Pecorino Romano is a hard sheep milk cheese that fluffs up to weigh about 3.5 ounces per cup.
With a bulk density of about 3.5 ounces per cup (0.42 g/mL), grated Pecorino Romano traps a lot of air between its dry shreds. Because it is an aged, hard sheep milk cheese, it falls into loose flakes rather than sticking together in clumps. A 1-pound (454-gram) block yields about 4.6 cups once grated. It takes up far more volume than softer, moisture-rich shredded cheeses like cheddar or mozzarella.
From Wikipedia
Pecorino romano is a hard, salty Italian cheese made from sheep milk, often used for grating over pasta or other dishes. The name pecorino means 'ovine' or 'of sheep' in Italian; the name of the cheese, although protected, is a description rather than a brand: [formaggio] pecorino romano means 'sheep's [cheese] of Rome'.
