Fromage Frais in the L.A. area anyone?

[DeniseANP]

I am trying to find SOMEWHERE to buy fat-free fromage frais. I would rather not order it from an on-line supplier. Can anyone help? I tried Gelson's, Bristol Farms, Whole Foods and Trader Joe's already - no luck.

More specific than fromage frais, but I just finished off the delicious goat milk faisselle that Laurent Bonjour is selling out of his cheese truck at local Farmer's Markets: Laurent Bonjour's Cheese Corner.

I once saw some approximation of it under the denomination "fromage blanc" but bearing no resemblance to the real thing at Whole Foods on 3rd & Fairfax, I think under the brand "Vermont Butter & Cheese". It really tasted like anything but fromage blanc to my French palate, and I don't think it was fat-free.
You may want to call Monsieur Marcel at the Farmer's Market, they may stock it, too.

Yes, Whole Foods in Thousand Oaks told me that they have fromage blanc, but not low fat or fat free. I need the fromage frais to be LF or FF. I will try Monsieur Marcel, though - he sounds like someone who would probably know where to find it if possible! Thanks!

I bought fromage blanc made by Vermont Creamery at the Whole Foods on 3rd & Fairfax. It is 0% fat. 1 ounce has 15 calories, 1 gram of sugar , 1 carb and 2.5 grams of protein. They don't always have it in stock and it is just under $5 for an 8 ounce container.

It's been quite a while but I believe I recall seeing it at the Cheese Store of Beverly Hills.

Thanks! I'll give them a call.
