Quark is a wonderfully mild, creamy, fresh spreadable soft cheese of German origin. In Germany and Austria, it is called topfen. It is made from sour milk that is warmed until it curdles. It boasts an excellent nutritional profile--high protein and rich in minerals.

Having both a sweet side and hints of a tangy acidic side, quark is deliciously versatile in both sweet and savory dishes.

It is popularly used on open-faced sandwiches paired with wine. Quark is often spread on sourdough bread slices and topped with sardines and onions, mushrooms, tuna & eggs, chicken liver, chorizo, smoked salmon and more.

Spread it on toast or bagels with your favorite savory or sweet toppings.

Mixed with fruit preserves or fresh fruit for a quick and healthy dessert.

Use it in anything that calls for cream cheese.
