and definitely worth the cost of buying!īuttermilk costs less than $2.50 per quart here and makes about 1¾ to 2 cups quark. It's such an easy way to make, not only Greek yogurt, but also Quark. If you have a Dash Greek Yogurt Maker, then it's also very easy to make. Much more delicate flavor than a sour cream from the store. The rest is just letting it drip out remaining whey and oh is it delicious.
#How to make quark free
With good temperature control and a soap free cheese cloth this is an incredibly easy process. The acidity is very important to good cheese making and cloth can retain residual soap which will work against the acidity and can spoil the process. To clean simple wash off any curd matter still left and wash in washer with bleach or borax. T o keep it a cheese cloth it is never to be washed or exposed to detergents or soap. A good cheese cloth is a 100% cotton unbleached muslin cloth. This is not what is sold as "cheese cloth" in the grocery store. The second tip for success is a good cheese cloth. Just let it go a bit longer if it gets off optimal temperature. If neither of these are available, a lukewarm water bath from the tap will do or a counter top in the summer when the house is warm. Mesophilic will still grow but slower so if one uses a yogurt makers one should wait a bit longer, say 30 hours. Yogurt cookers are designed for a thermophilic culture which likes a hotter temperature (110 to 115F). The popular multi-function "one pot" that has settable temperature would also work quite well. I used a sous vide cooker to do achieve this and just opened the buttermilk carton and placed right in the water and set my sous vide to 94F since it was quite cool in my house and the top of the carton was exposed. Optimal is 92F (33C) for 24 hours in Oma's recipe. The mesophilic culture in buttermilk will continue to acidify if given the right conditions. Do not use vinegar or lemon juice to rush the process-it needs the natural culture to develop the flavor. Some buttermilks sold have been pasteurized killing the active culture.īy using active cultured buttermilk, one skips right over a tricky step in cheesemaking: getting very fresh milk with little processing cultured. After the quark is drained store it in the refrigerator for up to 6 days, depending on the room temperature where the quark was drained.The first is the choice of buttermilk.(the cooler the better) Keep the whey for a healthy drink if desired. Tie cheesecloth and strain quark by hanging it in a cool place.
