Cheese is rarely found in Southeast and [[Wikipedia:East Asian cuisine|East Asian cuisine]]s, presumably for historical reasons as dairy farming has historically been rare in these regions, due in part to low rates of [[Lactase persistence#Global spread of the lactase persistence phenotype|lactase persistence]]. Paneer (pronounced [pəniːr]) is a fresh cheese common in [[Wikipedia:North India|North India]] and [[Wikipedia:Pakistan|Pakistan]]. It is an unaged, non-melting soft cheese made by curdling milk with a fruit- or vegetable-derived acid, such as lemon juice. Its acid-set form (cheese curd), before pressing, is called chhena. In [[Wikipedia:Nepal|Nepal]], the Dairy Development Corporation commercially manufactures cheese made from [[Wikipedia:yak|yak]] milk and a hard cheese made from either cow or yak milk known as [[Wikipedia:chhurpi|chhurpi]]. [[Wikipedia:Bhutan|Bhutan]] also produces a similar cheese called [[Datshi]] which is a staple in most Bhutanese curries. The national dish of [[Wikipedia:Bhutan|Bhutan]], [[Wikipedia:ema datshi|ema datshi]], is made from homemade yak or [[:en:mare (horse)|mare]] milk cheese and hot peppers. In [[Wikipedia:Yunnan|Yunnan]], China, several ethnic minority groups produce [[Rushan (cheese)|Rushan]] and [[Rubing]] from cow's milk. Cheese consumption may be increasing in China, with annual sales doubling from 1996 to 2003 (to a still small 30 million [[:en:United States dollar|U.S. dollars]] a year). Certain kinds of Chinese preserved [[Bean curd#Fermented|bean curd]] are sometimes misleadingly referred to in English as "Chinese cheese" because of their texture and strong flavor.

Strict followers of the dietary laws of [[Wikipedia:Islam|Islam]] and Judaism must avoid cheeses made with [[rennet]] from animals not slaughtered in a manner adhering to [[Wikipedia:halal|halal]] or [[:en:kosher foods|kosher]] laws. Both faiths allow cheese made with vegetable-based rennet or with rennet made from animals that were processed in a halal or kosher manner. Many less orthodox Jews also believe that rennet undergoes enough processing to change its nature entirely and do not consider it to ever violate kosher law (see ''[[Kosher foods#Cheese|Cheese and kashrut]]''). As cheese is a dairy food, under kosher rules it cannot be eaten in the [[:en:meat and milk|same meal with any meat]].
