A Paleo-diet purist will tell you no, all cheese should be avoided on a Paleo lifestyle. Paleolithic humans didn't milk cows or process dairy. This is one case in which keto diet rules are much more lax than paleo.
Grains are generally prohibited on the paleo diet. These include wheat, corn, bread, pasta, cereal, oats, rye, barley, and rice. This is done for a variety of reasons, one of which is the relatively high concentration of phytates, or phytic acid, in grains and grain-based products.
First of all, anything that is Paleo is automatically gluten-free as well. The Paleo diet excludes gluten and other grains (like oats, rice and corn), legumes (like soy, peanuts and beans), dairy, refined oils (like canola, soybean, cottonseed) and sugars.
A strict paleo diet does not allow dairy products because hunter-gatherers did not milk cows. This includes milk, butter, yogurt, sour cream and cheese.
