Fromage frais
Fromage frais (also known as fromage blanc, maquƩe or quark) is a dairy product, originating from Belgium and north of France. The name literally means "fresh cheese" (with fromage blanc meaning "white cheese").
Pure fromage frais is virtually fat free, but cream is frequently added to improve the flavour, which also increases the fat content, frequently to as high as 8 percent of total weight.
Fromage frais can be served either as a dessert similar to yogurt, frequently with added fruit, or used in savoury dishes.
