About Quark

Quark is a creamy, fresh dairy product popular in European cuisines, especially German and Eastern European cooking. It is made by fermenting milk with beneficial lactic acid bacteria, resulting in a mild flavor and smooth texture. Quark is often compared to yogurt or cottage cheese, but it is denser and higher in protein while being naturally lower in fat. Rich in calcium, probiotics, and essential nutrients, it supports bone health and digestive wellness. Versatile in use, it can be enjoyed as a spread, in smoothies, desserts, or savory dishes. While quark is generally healthy, flavored varieties may contain added sugars, so opting for plain quark is recommended for a balanced diet. This nutrient-dense food is a great choice for those looking for a high-protein, low-fat option to incorporate into their meals.
