Quark
A German specialty! Fresh, soft, spreadable & smooth. Similar in taste to a blend of cream cheese and sour cream, but naturally lower in fat. Excellent substitute for sour cream, cream cheese or ricotta. 

 

  • Pasteurized milk is poured into a fermentation tank and a "starter" is added to initiate the fermentation process.
  • After 16 hours of fermentation, the curds of "quark" are removed from the fermentation tank and poured into cheesecloth to allow the whey to drain out.
  • The draining quark is checked every few hours.
  • When it has reached the right consistency--usually in about 10 hours-- it's packed into 1 lb. plastic containers and it's ready to sell.

What is Quark?
It's best described as a soft and fresh, low-fat cheese with a slightly sour flavor and slightly grainy texture. Quark is common throughout Europe where it's most often used as a baker's cheese, but it can also be used as a cheese spread on toast and as a low-fat alternative to cream cheese.
