Wikipedia Article About Fromage frais on Wikipedia Fromage frais (also known as fromage blanc) is a dairy product, originating from France. The name literally means 'fresh cheese' (with fromage blanc meaning 'white cheese'). It is made in a similar fashion to cheese, with rennet and a starter culture being added to milk. However, unlike cheese, the curds are not allowed to solidify, but are stirred, giving fromage frais a texture similar to that of yogurt. Fromage frais can be served either as a dessert similar to yogurt, frequently with added fruit, or used in savory dishes.
