Fromage frai

Fromage frais is a type of soft cheese that comes from dairy sources, like cow's milk. It is known for its creamy texture and slightly tangy flavour, making it a popular choice in various dishes.

To make fromage frais, milk is first warmed and combined with specific bacteria cultures. Then, rennet, an enzyme, is added to thicken the mixture. The curds are separated from the whey, resulting in a creamy, smooth cheese that can be enjoyed plain or with added fruits or sweeteners.

Fromage frais often appears on food labels as a key ingredient in desserts like cheesecakes, mousses, or fruit parfaits. It is valued for its ability to add a creamy richness and tangy taste to these dishes, enhancing their overall flavour and texture. It can also be used in savoury dishes like dips or dressings to provide a creamy base.
