What is Fromage frais?

A fresh, low-fat curd cheese (similar to cottage cheese but processed until the texture is smooth and lump-free) made from pasteurised cows' milk. Fromage frais has very little fat but there are ones that have cream added which make them better for cooking. It's delicious eaten on its own or with honey or fresh fruit purée. It can also be used in desserts or savoury dishes. Use it to make savoury sauces or as a topping for jacket potatoes.
