About Fromage Blanc

Fromage Blanc is a fresh and creamy cheese.

Milk sources can be Goat or Cow.

Fromage Blanc can be used in the Alsatian Flammekueche (Tarte Flambè with Onion and Bacon) or just eaten as a deep with fresh herbs, salt, pepper and olive oil.

Both Sancerre and Sauvignon Blanc are made of the same grape, known for its acidity.

Acidity cleans your palate and the citrusy grassiness matches the "greens" in the dish.

Did you know?

Fromage Blanc is light and a great summer treat.

A versatile creamy cheese that can be topped with berries, granola and maple syrup for breakfast and it becomes a dessert if served with jam.
