How Long Can Romano Cheese Sit Out?

Romano cheese, like all cheeses, should not be left sitting out at room temperature for an extended period. Cheese is a perishable item and can spoil if not properly handled. Unrefrigerated Romano cheese should not be left out for more than two hours. After that time, the cheese may start to develop harmful bacteria, increasing the risk of foodborne illnesses. To ensure food safety, it's best to store Romano cheese in the refrigerator promptly after use.
