Full-Fat Cottage Cheese (Quark)

Full-fat quark is a fresh soft cheese made from whole or semi-skimmed milk through acidification and coagulation. Compared to low-fat varieties, it has a higher fat content (typically 8-10% or more), making it creamier, smoother, and richer in flavor. In the kitchen it is highly versatile, suitable for both sweet and savory dishes. It works wonderfully as a filling for crepes, cheesecakes, sweet dumplings, or as a base for dips and spreads. When used in baking, it adds moisture and a delicate flavor to pastries. It is a good source of protein, calcium, and B vitamins.
