Morlacco
Italian cow's milk cheese
Morlacco (Venetian: Morlac) 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.
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.
After 20 days of aging, the cheese is ready for consumption, but it can be left to age for up to three months.

Why this record matters
The phrase “italian cow's milk cheese” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 15, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q3863036. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
