About Quark cheese

Quark cheese is a creamy, fresh dairy product with origins in Central Europe, particularly popular in German and Eastern European cuisine. Made by warming soured milk until it curdles and then straining it, quark has a smooth texture and mild tangy flavor similar to ricotta or cottage cheese. It is low in fat, especially in the skim versions, and contains high-quality protein, making it a nutritious option for energy and muscle repair. Quark is also a good source of calcium, supporting bone health, and provides beneficial probiotics for digestion. Its customizable taste allows it to be used in both sweet and savory dishes, from cheesecakes to dips and spreads. However, it may contain higher sodium levels in some processed varieties, so checking labels is advised. Overall, quark cheese is a versatile and healthful addition to a balanced diet.
