Catupiry is a Brazilian brand of requeijão, a soft cow's milk spread sold in a pot rather than as a wheel. The paste is smooth, pale, and mild, with a body closer to thick cream than to a slice you cut. Producers blend fresh cream with curd and cook the mix until it turns silky and stable. There is no rind, and the cheese is not aged into a hard block. In Brazil the brand is common enough that many recipes write the name and mean this creamy style.
