About Tvorog

Tvorog, also known as farmer's cheese or quark, is a soft, curdled dairy product widely enjoyed in Eastern European and Russian cuisine. Made by fermenting milk with bacterial cultures, it has a mild, slightly tangy flavor and a texture ranging from creamy to crumbly. Tvorog is rich in high-quality protein, calcium, and B vitamins, supporting bone health, muscle growth, and energy metabolism. Its probiotics promote gut health and digestion. With its relatively low fat content, especially in low-fat varieties, tvorog is a nutritious choice for weight management and balanced diets. However, full-fat versions can be higher in saturated fats, so moderation is key for individuals monitoring heart health. Versatile and nutrient-dense, tvorog is used in dishes like cheesecakes, pancakes, and savory spreads, making it a staple in healthy, hearty cooking traditions.
