Mr. Jenkins, I really enjoy all your answers, and am particularily fond of your honest 'down to CHEESE' comments.
Does Fairway carry any 'decent' Quark, you have been to Germany and must have tasted/tested various 'fat' content versions (10, 20, 30 & 40 percent)
anything like that available ?
Also 'Harzer' or 'Mainzer Handkaes' ?
Quark is needed to make a 'decent' Cheesecake.
Thank you
"Quark" & "Harzer"

Hello Peter
We (Fairway) stock quark; German, no fat, low fat, full fat. It's around town; comes in from Haram-Christenson.
I thought our Ben's (Houston St.) fresh cream cheese (no gums) was the integral ingredient for cheesecake. Normandy fromage blanc.
I don't bother with German handkase. Pasteurized, mass-production; all I get is the smelly from them. No articulable flavor from the interior other than cheesiness. Vastly prefer other stuff from France and Northern Italy.
