Quark (dairy product) considered to be different types of fresh cheese, while in Eastern Europe cottage cheese is usually viewed as a type of quark (e.g. Russian for cottage cheese is "зернёный творог" "zernyony tvorog", literally "grainy quark"). Quark is similar to French fromage blanc, Indian paneer, and the queso fresco/queijo fresco made in the Iberian Peninsula and in some Latin American countries. It is distinct from Italian ricotta because ricotta (Italian "recooked") is made from scalded whey. Quark is somewhat similar to yogurt cheeses such as the South Asian "chak(k)a", the Arabic labneh, and the Central Asian suzma or kashk, but while
Constituent quark Constituent quark A constituent quark is a current quark with a notional "covering" induced by the renormalization group. In the low energy limit of QCD, a description by means of perturbation theory is not possible: Here, no asymptotic freedom exists, but collective interactions between valence quarks and sea quarks gain strongly in significance. Part of the effects of virtual quarks and virtual gluons in the 'sea' can be assigned to a quark so well, that the term 'constituent quark' can serve as an effective description of the low energy system. Constituent quarks appear like 'dressed' current quarks, i.e. current quarks
