Morlacco Baby – Castellan semi-fat cheese

Morlacco Baby – the small wheel of the rustic jewel of Monte Grappa

The dairy calls it “the true jewel of Monte Grappa’s rustic tradition”, tied to a past of transhumance and herding, when milk had to be preserved by simple means. The cheesemaking echoes those gestures: coagulation at the milk’s original temperature, a cross cut, and slow, regular movements, as the travelling cheesemakers once did.

The Baby is the smallest Morlacco wheel, weighing about 2.5 kg. It is a semi-fat cheese made from Italian pasteurised whole cow’s milk, matured for 10 days. When young the paste is soft and white, with small scattered eyes; the aroma is slightly milky and distinctive, the flavour sweet, aromatic and savoury. As it matures the paste turns slightly straw-coloured and tends to become creamy, especially under the rind, and flavour and aroma grow more intense.

💡 How to enjoy it:
✔ Sliced on a cheese board
✔ With rustic bread
✔ With hot polenta
