Fromage blanc is a soft, unripened cheese, usually made from skimmed cow’s milk with a culture. Fromage frais is fromage blanc, beaten to a smooth consistency. Both contain between zero and 8 per cent fat, unless they have been enriched with cream. Fromage frais can replace yoghurt in ice-creams, mousses, and so on.
