Cooking and eating a hearty meal is an important part of the pre-game ritual in Monster Hunter Wilds. Not only will food give players a boost to health, stamina, and their choice of stats, but when a meal is garnished with extra ingredients like Kunafa Cheese, players will get a stronger buff for when they set out.

Kunafa Cheese is one of the many cooking ingredients players can get in MH Wilds, and much like the others, getting cheese in bulk can be a little difficult. If you're looking to stock up on this ingredient, here's a guide showing where you can get some, and how you can farm for it with relative ease.

How to Get Kunafa Cheese in MH Wilds

Monster Hunter Wilds Kunafa Cheese description

There are a few quests in MH Wilds that reward players with Kunafa Cheese, but since they can't be repeated, one of the best ways to get this ingredient is to trade with Kilama in Kunafa. She has her dedicated NPC marker on the map screen, but if you'd rather not visit her personally, you can always speak with Nata in front of your base camp tent instead.

Kilama's trader inventory changes at regular intervals, so there will be times when she doesn't have any Kunafa Cheese to offer. In cases like these, you can always rest in your tent to force all trader inventories to refresh.

Kilama often asks for either Windward Aloe or Fine Windward Aloe in exchange for Kunafa Cheese. You can find these items in Windward Plains. Take note that you can get more Windward Aloe during Season of Plenty.

Occasionally, Kilama may also offer Sharp Kunafa Cheese, which activates the stronger Defender Meal (Hi) skill. She'll trade these for either Thundering Fulgurite or Great WIndward Aloe.

The Defender Meal skill works like Divine Blessing — it gives players a chance to take reduced damage when hit.

If trading isn't your thing, you can try farming Event Quests instead. This is a bit unreliable, however, as these quests are usually time-gated.

For example, the Stalking Supper quest rewards players with both regular Kunafa Cheese and the Sharp Kunafa Cheese variant. Here, all you have to do is hunt a Quematrice in Windward Plains.

As of writing, Stalking Supper is no longer available in the Event Quests tab. However, as per Capcom during the Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update 1 Showcase, most Events Quests will return when a big seasonal event is active.
