According to German regulations on cheese ("Käseverordnung"), "fresh cheeses" ("Frischkäse") such as quark or cottage cheese must contain at least 73% water in the fat-free component. German quark is usually sold in plastic tubs with most or all of the whey. This type of quark has the firmness of sour cream but is slightly drier, resulting in
Strange quark Strange quark The strange quark or s quark (from its symbol, s) is the third lightest of all quarks, a type of elementary particle. Strange quarks are found in subatomic particles called hadrons. Example of hadrons containing strange quarks include kaons (), strange D mesons (), Sigma baryons (), and other strange particles. According to the IUPAP the symbol s is the official name, while strange is to be considered only as a mnemonic. The name sideways has also been used because the s quark has a I value of 0 while the u (“up”) and d (“down”) quarks have
