What is fromage frais?

Fromage frais is a type of soft, creamy, fresh cheese that originates from France. It literally translates to "fresh cheese" in French. It is made from milk that has been coagulated by the addition of rennet and bacteria, and then strained to remove the whey. Fromage frais typically has a tangy, slightly sour taste, and it is low in fat, making it a popular choice for health-conscious consumers. It can be eaten on its own as a snack or used in a variety of dishes, such as dips, sauces, and desserts. Fromage frais can also be flavored with herbs, spices, or fruit to add extra flavor and sweetness. It is similar in texture to cream cheese or cottage cheese but has a lighter, smoother consistency.
