Hard Quark

Hard quark is a pressed and dried form of quark with significantly lower water content than regular soft quark. It has a firm, compact texture and a more pronounced, mildly tangy flavour. Thanks to its low moisture content, it can be easily grated, making it a popular ingredient in doughs for quark pastries, strudels, or homemade noodles. Grated, it is also used as a topping for sweet dumplings or pancakes. It is rich in protein and calcium and is available in low-fat varieties, making it a good option for those watching their fat intake. It also works well in baked dishes or savoury pies.
