Fromager d'Affinois is a soft cow's milk cheese from France. It has a white bloomy rind and a pale, very creamy center that spreads even when the wheel is still young. The milk is concentrated before the curd is set, which keeps the paste moist and rich. The result is milder and more buttery than a traditional Brie of a similar size. It is sold under this name across France, and it is not a farmhouse wheel from one village.
