Evening and morning milk
The traditional method described by Centro Veneto Formaggi combines skimmed evening milk with whole morning milk. The curd drains in baskets before molding and dry salting.
Milk and mountain butter
The producer’s account places Morlacco in the Grappa mountain pastures, where cream was removed for butter and the remaining milk became cheese. That connection explains why skimming matters to its traditional recipe.
