    Is Quark similar to marscapone then? ... and is it less fattening? ... never tried it before.

    There's a huge difference in the fat content but not sure how much as I think you can get low-fat and 0% fat Quark. It doesn't have the creaminess of mascapone and is very bland - like low-fat Philly cheese. It is great as a mixer though and as someone else said Slimming World use it in their recipes a lot.

    Some people at Slimming world spread it on their sandwiches instead of flora.

    I absolutely adore mascarpone but unfortunately it loves me more and sticks to the hips :o so I only have it occassionally now but I might give this quark a try and see what it's like :)

    You can make a lower fat cheese spread with it too (a tip from slimming world). Mix some mature grated cheese into it and leave overnight in the fridge. By the next day the quark will have taken on all the flavour of the mature cheese.
