Cheese paska

An illustration by Ivan Yakovlevich Bilibin from Russia of white cheese paskas around kulich. It uses old Russian language orthography that can be translated to a modern rendition along the lines of "Kulich-city is standing, glorifying itself; Lauding itself over other cities; There is no other place better than me!; For I am all quark and dough! The X and the B on the cheese paska are for Xpucmoc Bockpec (Christ Arose)

Cheese Paska is an Eastern European and Russian side dish of cheese and is served accompanying Ukrainian paska and Russian kulich (the same dish by the respective Russian and Ukrainian language names). It is formed in a mold, traditionally in the shape of a truncated pyramid.[1] It is made with farmer's cheese (quark) and is served as an accompaniment to paska (bread) / kulich.[2] In Russia the type of cheese used is called tworog (Polish twaróg). A curd cheese, it is used as a spread or dip for the bread kulich/ paska dish. In contemporary times, cheese paska is not always formed in a mold and is sometimes served in a mound on a plate.
