Tvaroh, also known as quark or farmer’s cheese, is a soft, fresh dairy product widely enjoyed in Central and Eastern European cuisines. Made by curdling milk and removing excess whey, it has a creamy yet crumbly texture and a mild, tangy flavor. Tvaroh is rich in protein, making it a favorite among those seeking muscle recovery or a healthy, low-fat snack. It also contains calcium and B vitamins, which support bone health and energy metabolism. Depending on the production method, Tvaroh can range from low-fat to full-fat, so its calorie content varies. It's commonly used in dishes like baked goods, spreads, and desserts such as Czech koláče or Russian syrniki. While generally healthy, full-fat varieties should be consumed in moderation if managing calorie or saturated fat intake. Tvaroh’s versatility and nutrient density make it a valuable staple in balanced diets.
