SEK Quark low-fat plain fresh cheese is a mild, spoonable fresh dairy cheese made in the quark style. Quark is especially familiar in Central Europe, where it is eaten as a simple everyday dairy food; this version is plain and lower in fat. Its thick, softly tangy texture works at breakfast spread on bread, or served with fruit, honey or jam. You can also stir in herbs and seasoning for a savoury dip, or use it in baking and cooking where a fresh cheese is wanted.
It is high in protein and low in fat, making it a useful choice for a filling breakfast or snack; a 100 g serving provides 12 g of protein. For a lighter bowl, pair it with fresh fruit rather than adding much honey or jam.
