Quark is a fresh dairy product made by gently warming soured milk so that its proteins coagulate. It is easy to digest and valued for its complete protein and calcium content. Digestibility varies with its fat content.
Quark is highly versatile. It is used in both savory and sweet dishes, spreads and creams combined with fresh fruit. Firm quark can also be grated over cooked dishes. Quark tastes best when very fresh; the package should therefore be checked carefully before purchase. Fresh quark should have a pleasant mild taste and should be neither sharply sour nor bitter.
