I don’t know what it’s called in English. Quark? Curd cheese?

That's awesome. Getting huuuge 🙂
BTW, it also tastes great if you add a bit of your favorite protein powder.

Toril, don’t know if you will be reading this, but I got this answer asking on Quora:
Look for TINE brand kvarg.
Try Coop Mega http://coop.no/ or ICA Suprmarked http://www.ica.no/
Good luck Toril,
From wikipedia: "In Norway, Denmark and Sweden, it is called kvarg."
Maybe that helps searching.
I will also post your question on Facebook. Maybe someone comes to the rescue and can hook you up with tons of quark.
Well, quark is made of casein protein so it doesn’t have the same effect on your body as whey. Great to add in your diet though
anywhere in America?
Possibly Cottage cheese
Same as for Germany, in The Netherlands you can get quark nearly everywhere. We also have all the German stuff because we have a lot of German supermarkets like lidl and aldi. The one I love most: konings kwark. Looks pretty much the same as the one above.
easy to make too: http://www.peanutbutterboy.com/how-to-make-quark-cheese/
It’s so easy to make yourself if you get some kefir grains. Then after 24 hours, drain it through a coffee filter for a few hours. The best tasting quark you have ever had.
