Kwaito is a South African, artisinal gouda-style cheese made from cow's milk in the KwaZulu-Natal midlands of South Africa. It has a creamy texture and mild flavour. Apart from the plain and smoked varieties, there are also some other varieties of kwaito, each of them flavored with different ingredients such as green peppercorns, black peppercorns, or carnival peppers and also garden herbs.

When translated, the name of the cheese is slang for cool, but it's also a term for a popular South African music genre.

Kwaito has been called the music that defines the generation who came of age after apartheid (or South African segregation laws). Its pulsing dance beat evolved from styles such as mbaqanga and dancehall, as well as house and disco.

Originating in the black townships of South Africa in the mid-1990s, Kwaito music fuses hip-hop, house music, reggae and melodic African rhythms. Although Kwaito has been labeled by many as African hip-hop, others say it's an original African genre and not a mere clone of American rap music.
