Fromage blanc (; fromage blanc in the Oxford British & World English Dictionary ; also known as maquée) is a fresh cheese similar to cream cheese originating from the north of France and southern Belgium. The name means "white cheese" in French language. Fromage frais ("fresh cheese") differs from fromage blanc in that, according to French legislation, fromage frais must contain live cultures when sold, whereas with fromage blanc, fermentation has been halted.Note d'information accompagnant le décret n°2007-628 relatif aux fromages et spécialités fromagères Ministère de l'économie
Fromage blanc can be served either as a dessert similar to yogurt, frequently with added fruit, spread on bread, usually over or under jam, or used in savoury dishes. In many Western countries, fromage blanc is sold in supermarkets alongside yogurts.
