    Quark dip is a dip for veggies, a topping for oven potatoes and is great spread for sandwiches.

    What is Quark?

    Quark is a dairy product, technically it is cheese but it´s texture reminds more to greek yogurt or sour cream. But quark does not have a tangy flavor like greek  yogurt, it is smooth and creamy and has a neutral dairy taste.

    Quark is one of the German super foods. It is high in protein, packed with calcium, potassium, vitamins and minerals but very low in fat.

    Unless you’ve lived in Europe or had a German grandma, you´ve probably never heard of quark as it is not very common in the United States.

    It is easy to make quark and you can find my cheat recipe here on this channel. I call it cheat recipe because if you can´t find fresh buttermilk you will not be able to make real quark with all it´s health benefits and you will not achieve the full flavor nor the fantastic firm but so creamy silky texture that authentic quark has.
