Belper Knolle is a small hard cheese from Belp in Switzerland. It is made from cow's milk. Makers shape the curd into a ball, mix in garlic and salt, and roll the ball in crushed black pepper. The name Knolle refers to a tuber, which matches the round shape. A mature ball is dry enough to shave or grate, and the pepper coat stays on the outside.
