Fromage frais (Žervé)

Žervé is a soft fresh cheese of French origin, made from cow's milk. It has a smooth, creamy texture and a mildly tangy, fresh flavour. In the kitchen it works wonderfully as a spread on bread, a base for dips, or an ingredient in salads. It is also used in warm dishes, sauces, and filled crepes. Thanks to its delicate taste, it pairs easily with herbs, garlic, vegetables, and fruit. It is sometimes confused with fromage frais or quark, from which it differs by its higher fat content and silkier texture. It is a favourite ingredient in both modern and traditional French cuisine.
