What is
Quark is a type of fresh dairy product, common for the cuisines of German-speaking countries made by warming soured milk until the desired degree of coagulation (denaturation, curdling) of milk proteins is met, and then strained.
Strained yogurt, Greek yogurt, yogurt cheese, labneh, is yogurt which has been strained to remove its whey, resulting in a relatively thick consistency, while preserving yogurt's distinctive, sour taste.
