About Twarog Chudy
Twarog Chudy is a traditional Polish fat-free curd cheese (the word 'chudy' meaning 'lean' in Polish) that represents one of Poland's most beloved and distinctive dairy products. This soft, white fermented cheese is produced by Okręgowa Spółdzielnia Mleczarska (OSM) in Łowicz, Poland, and is now available in UK supermarkets to serve the Polish community and adventurous food lovers alike. Twarog (also known as Polish quark, farmer's cheese, or curd cheese) is made through the traditional process of fermenting milk and removing the whey, creating a distinctive texture and flavour that's difficult to find elsewhere in the world. The 'chudy' variety is fully skimmed, offering a fat-free option compared to 'półtłusty' (semi-skimmed) or 'tłusty' (full-fat) versions, making it popular among health-conscious consumers. This versatile cheese is essential in Polish cuisine, used to prepare twarożek (a popular breakfast appetizer mixed with chives, onion, radish, and cucumber), as well as forming the basis for authentic Polish sernik (cheesecake), sweet naleśniki (crepes), and pierogi fillings. Its mild, fresh flavour and creamy texture make it adaptable to both sweet and savoury dishes. Grocefully helps you compare Twarog Chudy prices across UK supermarkets including ASDA and Tesco.
