Fromage Blanc is a fresh, creamy French cheese with a texture similar to thick yogurt or soft cream cheese. It's typically made from cow's milk and has a mild, slightly tangy flavor. It is often enjoyed plain or with fruit, honey, or herbs as a dessert or light meal.
It is a good source of protein and calcium while being relatively low in fat compared to many other cheeses. A typical serving of about 100 grams contains roughly 100-120 calories.
Culturally, it's a staple in French and Belgian cuisine, often served as a healthy breakfast or dessert alternative. Nutritionally, it's valued for its live cultures, which can support gut health, similar to yogurt.
