Graham’s The Family Dairy have launched a new product – a 100% natural, fat free, protein-rich soft cheese called quark – which will be available nationwide, with listings secured with Asda, Aldi, Lidl and more.
The announcement marks the next step in Graham’s commitment to new product development, with further new lines to be announced over the summer.
With both natural and vanilla flavours available, quark is an extremely versatile product taking the health and fitness industry by storm.
It can be used as a substitute for a variety of more indulgent ingredients, so is perfect for baking and cooking.
Mixed with granola, porridge or fruit, stirred through pasta or baked into scones, quark is the versatile soft cheese originally from the continent that is swiftly making its mark in the UK.
Graham’s quark is smoother in texture than continental style quark, offering a delicious alternative to imported quark on the market.
Celebrity chef Nick Nairn and Great British Bake-Off Semi-finalist Flora Shedden have created a number of sweet and savoury recipes exclusively for Graham’s, for those keen to experiment with this quark-y ingredient.
These can be found on the company website:www.grahamsfamilydairy.com.
Graham's The Family Dairy is a family farming and dairy business now run by the founder's son and grandchildren.
Research shows that general awareness of quark in Scotland is around 46%, with around 16% of people having bought it before.
Over three quarters of those who have tried it are very likely to buy it again.
Carol Graham, Marketing Director at Graham’s The Family Dairyadded: “Quark is a fantastic, versatile product that we’ve all been experimenting with – it’s incredibly easy to swap it into existing recipes for the whole family. Dad now has it every morning with fruit and I’ve been stirring it into pasta. High quality, great tasting, local produce has always been at the heart of our range and our quark is no different.”
“Quark is loved by slimmers due to the fact it’s fat-free and can replace less innocent products in so many meals – and the slimmers in our office will testify to this – but it also appeals to people simply looking for naturally healthier, low fat, high protein options. The majority of quark on offer in the UK is imported from Germany but ours is made with the freshest of Scottish milk, is smoother and truly tastes fantastic. It’s become part of the Graham’s family diet, and we’d urge people new to quark to give it a try.”
Based in the heart of Scotland Graham’s are a genuine family business, stretching back 130 years, that produces an award-winning range including milk, butter, ice cream, cheese, yogurt and cream cottage cheese, soured cream and now quark.
Their range is made from the freshest of milk from their 100 farming partners across Scotland and the north of England.
