Where to get "fromage frais"?!
A recipe I want to try calls for "fromage frais" but I haven't found anything with that name in any supermarket!. Does it go under a different name in UK or what's the closest equivalent of it that I can get at Tesco or other British supermarkets!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
That probably means an un cultured "cheese" such as ricotta cheese, cottage cheese, cream cheese or fresh mozzarella!. If you could mention the recipe that would help as to what type of fresh cheese the recipe requires!.
**based on the recipes, you could substitute with a bit of whipping cream which is thicher then half & half!.**Www@FoodAQ@Com

Fromage frais (also known as fromage blanc, maquée 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 flavor, 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 savory dishes!. It is often served with honey in restaurants, as fromage blanc au miel!.
Delia says you can substitute blend of equal parts of cottage cheese and yoghurt until smooth, or use Greek-style yoghurt!. Do not heat these too much, though, or they will curdle!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
