World Quark Day is a holiday that’s observed annually on January 19th and celebrates the mysterious dairy product known as quark. This product is also known as quarg, and it’s made by warming soured milk until the desired amount of curdling has been achieved.

It’s similar to French fromage blanc and queso fresco. It’s a versatile food product that can be used in sweet, savory, cold, or hot dishes. It can also be used instead of sour cream or cream cheese. It’s very popular in Europe and is especially popular in Germany.

The History of World Quark Day
