Paraguay cheese is a fresh cow's milk cheese from Paraguay. In Spanish it is queso Paraguay, and in Guaraní it is kesú Paraguái. Makers set whole milk with rennet, salt the curd, and drain it into simple molds. The cheese is soft, moist, and mildly acidic, and it is eaten while it is still young. It is a staple of home cooking rather than a long-aged wheel with a thick rind.
