Fromager d'Affinois (pronounced [fʁɔmaʒe dafinwa]) is the registered trademark of the French cheese making company Fromagerie Guilloteau based in Pélussin.[citation needed]
This commercial brand produces a range of 30 industrial soft cheeses with a bloomy rind. They are made from cow's, goat's or sheep's milk presented in the form of a 2 kilo wheel, hexagonal in shape and wrapped in printed paper with a breakable label, in six parts. Some of those cheeses are double cream, triple cream, blue, or flavoured (pepper, roasted pumpkin seeds, red chili pepper, black truffle, garlic and herbs…).[1][2]
Guilloteau uses a process called ultrafiltration. Ultrafiltration removes water from the pasteurised milk, concentrating all other components. Ultrafiltration also results in a milk that retains more nutrients and proteins, and the cheese has a relatively high fat content of 60%.[3] Ultrafiltration also retains the whey proteins in the cheese, and increases the yield in terms of processing volume, reducing the cheese making process from eight weeks to two weeks.[4]
