Smaksatt kvarg

Smaksatt kvarg (roughly flavored curd) is a slightly fluffier version of the cream cheese layer of cheesecake, but still almost as rich. It's sold here in 200 ml containers as a breakfast item alongside yoghurt.

After digging in assuming that it was just a variety of yoghurt, I discovered that four teaspoons of the stuff nicely flavored two slices of bread.

I don't think I'd want to consume half a pound of light cream cheese in one sitting on a regular basis. This container's waxpaper lid is designed to be less re-sealable than those on tubs of yoghurt, which suggests that I am breaking with tradition by saving the rest for later.

(There's at least one holiday each month during which major retail shops close. A day or two before that, perishables with expiry dates are sold at 30 or 50% discounts. Valio smaksatt kvarg citron is regularly priced at (e)0.80, but I purchased this one a day before the midsummer holiday.)
