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.
