Morcella is a soft sheep's milk cheese from Minnesota in the United States. Shepherd's Way Farms makes it in small batches and folds local morel mushrooms into the paste. The name points to Morchella, the group of mushrooms called morels. A mottled bloomy rind covers a creamy interior speckled with pieces of mushroom. It is a seasonal cheese, made with spring and summer milk and sold only while that batch lasts.
