German Quark Thermophilic Starter Culture
Quark is an acid-set cheese, which makes it a lot like a yogurt cheese! We offer two versions of this culture, and this is the thermophil! To make it, you’re going to treat it like a regular thermophil yogurt. Mild and creamy, we think you’ll love this one!
NOTE: traditional quark is made at room temperature, as it is a mesophil. Quark naturally contains both mesophilic and thermophilic probiotics, so this will be quark-like but not exactly the same as traditional quark.
CHILD APPROVED!
Child Tester suspiciously peered into her bowl of quark for a minute as though she thought I had made some sort of untrue claims about it. The claim I made was, “here, why don’t you try one of the yogurts your teacher last year grew up eating?” so I’m not super clear on what might have been misleading, as that teacher is from Germany. 8 must be the age of cynicism. She then took a bite. Her face transformed from suspicion into delight, and there was a whole lot of, “mama! This is a custard yogurt! It’s like custard! How did you make yogurt into custard without cooking it!? Can I have some of this as chocolate pudding?” as she frantically waved TWO THUMBS UP!! at me! We’ll mark quark as one of her favorites, since even the yogurts she really loves don’t usually get quite this much enthusiasm.
