» Quark «
Traditional, creamery, vegetarian, fresh cheese made from cow's milk. It is moist, white cheese sold in pots. It has a light taste and a smooth and soft texture. Quark simply means "curd" in German and the cheese is said to date from the Iron Age. Quark can be made from whole, skimmed or semi-skimmed milk or even buttermilk. Soft and moist, like a cross between yogurt and fromage frais, it should taste lemon-fresh. Some versions have skimmed milk powder added and can be rather gritty. This cheese ripens within a few days.
