Were the lands of the Cimbri who arrived in Italy with their uses, customs and animals (especially Northern European-spotted cows, Burlina breed). The Cimbri, beaten by Roman legions around 100 BC, retreated from the plain climbing up the mountains of the plateau of Asiago, where they settled.

The Morlacco, also known as Burlach (referring to the Burlina cow), was made with skim milk as much as possible, because the butter, which was marketed in the Valley, was the only direct source of income. The Morlacco was regarded as a by-product of butter, so as to be often referred to as the Formajo Masterpieces.
