lowfat quark?


 

I've been taking a tbs flaxseed oil with a quarter cup of quark (which
I find delicious). I'm a little concerned about the high fat content
of the quark and would like to substitute a low-fat kind if I could
find it. Can anyone assist me in this?

I make it from pasteurized skim milk and I do NOT use a starter culture. All I do is put the organic skim milk in a pan when I get home from the grocery store, cover the pan, and let it sit for 48 hours. Then I slightly heat it which speeds up the separation of the curds and the whey, scoop it into a strainer to let it drip, pour off the whey, and refrigerate the cottage cheese/quark.

We made the Quark or Cottage cheese from raw milk. I suspect if you try to
make it from pasteurized milk you may need a starter culture. We had a
response from Germany (Patrick) who said they make Quark from raw milk. On
the farm I lived on as a child we had our Cows tested for disease and we
drank the milk raw. I drank it while milking. It tasted so good that I
never liked pasteurized milk. Just buy cottage cheese from the store.
Also milk fat or butterfat is on the list of beneficial fats as it has a
little omega 3 in it. The bad fats are trans fats, and fats from grain
fed animals. Most low fat foods have too much added sugar.

Lorenzo,

That sounds so simple! I'll try it. But let me be sure I understand
this: is Quark the same thing as curd? I.e. the curd of skim milk =
low-fat quark?

Hey Joel,

My Mother always made Quark from all the skim milk on the farm that we
could
not sell. She just let it sit overnight in a large shallow pan, and
took
the quark off the next morning to feed us kids and the chickens. If
you
give even skim milk to the hens they will quit laying so we made it
into
Quark and then they got it--we threw the whey away unless we had pig
to eat
it.

Yes, that makes sense.? Not much chance of finding raw milk anywhere around where I live.? Any suggestions for a starter culture?? No? idea how? this is done.
? We had a
response from Germany (Patrick)? who said they make Quark from raw milk.? On
the farm I lived on as a child we had our Cows tested for disease and we

I've drunk raw milk and I agree it's delicious.
?Just buy cottage cheese from the store.
I do that -- it's just that I so much prefer the taste and consistency of Quark!? (It also? masks the taste of the oil more than cottage cheese.)
?
Also milk fat or butterfat is on the list of beneficial fats as it has a
little omega 3 in it.??? The bad fats are trans fats, and fats from grain
fed animals.? Most low fat foods have too much added sugar.

Best Regards,?? Lorenzo

Thanks,

Carolyn,

Now all my questions about how to do this procedure are answered.? Thanks for that.? But this leaves? me with still one more question: is the final product cottage cheese or quark?? They'renot the same thing, to my mind and palate.

I don't know the answer to that. The final product is a "lump". It breaks up easily with a fork and looks like dry cottage cheese. I then mix back in a little organic cottage cheese to give it a little moisture.

Ok, thanks -- the test will be in the tasting.
