{{lang|it|Morlacco|italic=no}} ({{langx|vec|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.{{r|sf2}}

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.{{r|sf}}

After 20 days of aging, the cheese is ready for consumption, but it can be left to age for up to three months.{{r|vq}}
