Healthy cheese? Try Quark
October 21st, 2012
This mysterious cheese variety is a weight loss favourite. But what makes quark so healthy and how do you use it?
Quark is soft, fresh cheese, that has a similar creamy texture to sour cream and a mild tangy taste. Originating in Europe (the name essentially means “curd”), quark is a versatile creamy cheese, useful in everything from cake recipes to dips and low-fat spreads. Like low-fat yoghurt or fromage frais, quark contains less fat than most creamy cheeses (although there is a full-fat version available), making it an ideal choice for those on weight loss programs, such as the Dukan Diet.
