Aged 8+ months. Grates perfectly. I let it get fairly hard, drying out in the cave for about 4-5 months. Then I bagged it. Not sure how hard these guys can get, but I didn't want it to turn to powder when I tried to grate.
This was made with whole cow's milk. I added lipase. Flavor is near perfect I'd say.
Pretty happy. Glad I made two.

Looks wonderful, Andrew. I bet its time for home made pasta!
AC4U, I always enjoy reading your posts. I'm sure you are a big inspiration to many people on this forum.

Beautiful, and I love those fine graters. Dh loves those fine graters too and he even offers to grate our parms and romanos.

Yessir! I made pasta carbonara, and added a bunch of this cheese (and some homemade bacon which I cure and smoke myself). It was so good.
If I've inspired others, that's awesome. I hope I don't give the impression I know what I'm doing, but I do hope that others give it a try, have the same fun I'm having, and hopefully a few successes too.
No picture of the carbonara, but here is that romano on pasta with a bolognese sauce (mostly beef, with some pork, lots of mushrooms, etc). And a garlic/cheddar roll. Mmmm.

I recommend this one. I hate the box graters that we grew up with. This one is far better for hard grata cheeses.
