Pecorino Romano

Ripe sheep's cheese

Unsuitable

This food is often poorly tolerated with histamine intolerance.

Pecorino Romano is a hard Italian sheep's milk cheese aged for 5-8 months. Sheep's milk is naturally higher in histidine than cow's milk, which, along with long aging, leads to high histamine levels. (SIGHS)

High-protein decay risk: For rapidly perishable high-protein foods, storage and repeated reheating can increase histamine load, and reheating does not destroy the histamine formed.
