Carré Frais 0% fat fresh cheese is a soft, mild French-style fresh cheese with a slightly tangy taste. It is sold as a fresh cheese rather than a firm, aged cheese and can be used in both sweet and savoury dishes.
Carré Frais 0% fat fresh cheese tastes mild and fresh, with a gentle tang. Its texture is soft and spreadable; compared with richer cream cheeses, it tastes less creamy and buttery.
Yes, Carré Frais 0% fat fresh cheese can replace cream cheese in spreads and some fillings. It is softer and less rich, so dips may need less added liquid and baked recipes may turn out less creamy.
Carré Frais 0% fat fresh cheese can be spread on toast or stirred into a sandwich filling. For a quick savoury spread, mix it with chopped herbs, pepper or finely diced vegetables.
Yes, Carré Frais 0% fat fresh cheese works in sauces, soups and savoury fillings. Stir it in near the end of cooking and avoid boiling it hard, which can make the texture watery or grainy.
Yes, Carré Frais 0% fat fresh cheese can be used in baked fillings, including lighter cheesecake-style recipes. Expect a softer, less rich result than one made with full-fat cream cheese, and follow a recipe designed for fresh cheese where possible.
No, Carré Frais 0% fat fresh cheese does not melt into the stretchy strands associated with mozzarella. When heated, it softens and may release moisture, so it works better mixed into a filling than used as a melting topping.
Keep Carré Frais 0% fat fresh cheese refrigerated after opening, with its packaging closed. Use a clean utensil each time and follow the product’s storage instructions and use-by date.
Freezing Carré Frais 0% fat fresh cheese is not ideal because thawing can leave it watery or grainy. If you do freeze it, use the thawed cheese in a cooked dish rather than expecting it to spread smoothly.
No, Carré Frais 0% fat fresh cheese should not be assumed to be lactose-free: having no fat does not remove lactose from a dairy product. If you avoid lactose, choose a product specifically labelled lactose-free.

Carré Frais 0% fat fresh cheese is a French fresh cheese sold in small square portions. It has a soft, creamy texture and a mild, milky taste rather than the sharpness of an aged cheese. Its gentle flavour makes it easy to pair with both savoury and lightly sweet ingredients.
In France, it is commonly spread on bread or crackers, served at breakfast or as a snack, and used in simple sandwiches. Elsewhere, try it with herbs and sliced vegetables, or stir it into a dip. It is very low in fat and provides 8.5 g of protein per 100 g, making it a lighter cheese option; whole-grain bread can make a more filling pairing.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.

An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
