Know More
Kaali Miri is our artisanal take on the traditional Belper Knolle, a cheese that originated in the small town of Belp, Switzerland. The word Knolle translates to “tuber”, referring to its small, round, truffle-like shape. This tiny 90g cheese ball is aged until it becomes firm enough to grate, earning it the nickname “the truffle of the cheese world.”
At ELEF, Kaali Miri is aged for 1-2 months, developing a beautifully crumbly, grateable texture while retaining a creamier mouthfeel and a more pronounced flavour than its traditional counterpart. Each cheese is hand-coated in fragrant Kerala black pepper and infused with indigenous garlic and Himalayan pink salt, creating a bold, savoury cheese where a little goes a long way.
Perfect as a finishing cheese, grate it generously over pasta, risotto, eggs, salads, or any dish that could use an extra layer of rich, peppery flavour. It’s a pantry essential for anyone who loves to elevate everyday meals.
Kaali Miri has been recognised internationally, winning a Silver medal at the 4th Mundial do Queijo do Brasil 2026 and a Silver medal at the World Cheese Awards 2025 in Bern, Switzerland, a testament to its exceptional craftsmanship and flavour.
Pair with a full-bodied white wine such as Chardonnay or White Burgundy.
