Morlacco (Template:Lang-vec) or Morlacco del Grappa is an Italian cow's-milk cheese from Monte Grappa, in the provinces of Vicenza, Treviso, and Belluno), where cheesemakers once produced a soft cow's milk cheese, low in fat, with an uncooked curd that was named after their native region: Morlachia.[1]

The local Burlina cows—a breed at risk of extinction—produced the milk used for this cheese. The Burlina cow is small and hardy and has a piebald black and white coat.[2]

Today, Morlacco del Grappa cheese is once again produced on Monte Grappa with skimmed milk from the evening's milking mixed with whole milk from that of the morning.[citation needed] After 20 days of aging, the cheese is ready for consumption, but it can be left to age for up to three months.[3]
