Pecorino Romano is a hard, aged Italian cheese made from sheep's milk, with a sharper, saltier flavour than Parmesan. One metric cup (250 ml) of grated Pecorino Romano weighs around 100 grams or 3.53 ounces. When a recipe calls for grated Pecorino by volume, measuring by grams gives a more consistent result, as the weight per cup varies with how finely it is grated.

Grated Pecorino Romano is intense: a small amount goes a long way. Measuring by grams rather than cups keeps the saltiness in check and ensures consistent results in pasta, risotto, and baked dishes.
