guava paste
Caribbean cheese companion
Guava paste is a dense, sweet confection made from guava fruit cooked with sugar until thick enough to slice.
Popular in Latin American and Caribbean cuisines, it's often paired with cheese—especially white cheese like queso fresco—as a snack or dessert: guava paste and cream cheese on crackers.
Also called by its Spanish name, pasta de guayaba.
