Sour-milk quark from cow milk, set by acid alone without rennet and ripened for one to two weeks, is ground with ripening salts, salt and sometimes caraway and shaped into small low-fat loaves of 20–125 g. The loaves ripen two to three days in warm sweating rooms, then one to three days more with a red smear. Handkäs mit Musik is the cheese marinated in onion, vinegar and oil.

Sour-milk quark (Sauermilchquark)
From cow milk only, ripened 7–14 days; it may come from outside Hesse. It must be white, soft but cohesive, slightly grainy, cleanly milk-sour, with at least 32% dry matter and pH below 4.2[rpgi-flyer][eu-oj-2009]

At a glance
Sour-milk quark from cow milk, set by acid alone without rennet and ripened for one to two weeks, is ground with ripening salts, salt and sometimes caraway and shaped into small low-fat loaves of 20–125 g. The loaves ripen two to three days in warm sweating rooms, then one to three days more with a red smear. Handkäs mit Musik is the cheese marinated in onion, vinegar and oil. Made in 5 steps over 10 days – 20 days. The longest step, ripen the sour-milk quark, takes 7–14 days (Regierungspräsidium Gießen (Hesse) 2018). Red-smear pure cultures on the surface and Brevibacterium linens, which the Yumda encyclopedia names as the red culture sprayed on in brine do most of the fermenting.
Handkäse is made from quark soured by acid alone, not from rennet curd, and it ripens in days, not months. Every step must happen in Hesse, though the quark may come from elsewhere. Harzer is the same type of cheese from the Harz.
Milk
Cow milk only, made into acid-set sour-milk quark without rennet; low-fat
Ripening
Quark ripened 7–14 days; loaves sweat 2–3 days, then ripen 1–3 more days
Size
Small loaves of 20–125 g
Composition
Fat in dry matter 1.1–2.3%, protein 26.6–37.7%, water 55.2–68.6%, carbohydrate under 1%; made only as the lowest fat class (Magerstufe)
Hausmacher ArtAlso grows a white coat of Geotrichum candidum milk mould.
Handkäs mit MusikMarinated in onions, vinegar and oil.
Safety
The quark must have a pH below 4.2. The single document says the small loaves are packed at the dairy in Hesse, because unpacked transport would dry the surface and risk bacteriological infection.
The PGI document says Handkäse from Hesse is first recorded in 1813, when sellers from Groß-Gerau sold hand-shaped cheeses at the Mainz market. It became a staple of poor households, and a cheese-shaping machine invented in Groß-Gerau in 1893 raised output.
