Soft Cheeses from Denmark

Quark is a fresh acid-set cheese made by souring milk with lactic acid bacteria and straining the curd. Soft, white, unaged and usually unsalted, it anchors German, Austrian and Slavic cooking, where the drier version goes by tvorog.

Danbo is a semi-soft aged cow's milk cheese from Denmark, ripened in rectangular blocks under a coat of bacterial culture. It holds EU protected geographical indication status and is sold in grades running from very mild to sharp.

Saga is a Danish cheese that crosses blue cheese with brie. It is creamy and blue-veined under a white-mould rind, and it ranks among the mildest blue cheeses.
