    We need to talk about this amazing food pairing that's graced our moms' kitchens for some time.

    I'm talking about guava paste and cheese.

    It's a delicious combination of sweet and savory, which as we all know, is the main reason our taste buds exist in the first place.

    You'll taste the sweetness of the guava, with just the most delicate hint of tanginess.

    And then, BAM! You'll taste the cheese, hitting you with the perfect amount of salt needed to counteract the sweetness.

    And then you'll cry tears of joy, for you will have actually reached happiness.

    There are many countries that pride itself with coming up with this beautiful concoction. Some say it came from Cuba or Puerto Rico.

    Others say it came from Colombia.

    Yet others say it came from Brazil.

    But regardless of where it comes from, this culinary friendship has been the highlight of many childhoods.

    If you're feeling experimental, try it on waffles.

    Or just roll on over to your local panaderia and try it in a pastelito.

    If you've never tried it, do yourself a favor and taste it. IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE.

    ALL HAIL GUAVA AND CHEESE!
