What is the difference between fromage frais and cottage cheese?
Yogurt is a milk product that has been cultured and allowed to coagulate.
The yoghurt cultures can include a combination of the follwing:
Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium lactis, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, Lactobacillus delbruckii supsp. lactis.
The culture is added to milk that has been heated to 110F(43C). This is then kept at 100F (38C) for several hours to form the yoghurt.
The yoghurt can be strained in a cheesecloth to make thicker strained yogurt as in greek stryle yogurt, or strained further to make yogurt cheese(labneh/labaneh, dahi).
In various countries, yogurt may be made from the milk of cows, sheep, goats, camels, water buffaloes, and yaks; and soy milk. The plain yogurt found in the UK and USA is mostly made from cow's milk and is fairly bland.

'Fromage frais' is a French term for 'fresh cheese'. The firmer variety is called 'fromage blanc' .
It is made by adding rennet and a bacteria lactic starter (which contains: Lactococcus lactis, Lactococcus cremoris, Lactococcus lactis subsp. Lactis biovar diacetylactis, Streptococcus thermophilus) to milk that is between 22 and 26 °C (72 to 80 °F). This is then left at room temperature (between 22 and 26 °C (72 to 80 °F) for 12 - 24 hours.
Sometimes Calcium Chloride is also added to help balance between calcium and protein, and help coagulation.
The bacteria eats the milk sugar (lactose) of the milk at room temperature. This produces, as a by-product, lactic acid which gives the cheese its flavor and increases the acidity of the milk. The rennet coagulates the milk. The mass of milk will solidify after a few hours. When the solidified mass shrinks slightly, visibly pulling away from the edges of the container, the coagulation is sufficient. The fromage blanc at this point will look like a block of curd floating in clear whey.
The curds and whey are next poured [and left] to strai through fine cheesecloth The strainer is supported in another bowl to catch the whey. The strainer and bowl are refrigerated during the draining process. How long the fromage blanc is drained is a function of how the finished product will be used. The longer it drains, the firmer it becomes
At its most generic, fromage frais can refer to any of hundreds of varieties of cheese that have not been ripened, but are meant to be eaten shortly after they're made. These include:
American cottage cheese, German quark, Italian ricotta and mozzarella, the French fromage blanc, Spanish queso fresco, and on and on.

Can you make farmers cheese from cottage cheese?
How does one make PRESSED cottage cheese ? ?
The way to make Farmers Cheese and Cottage Cheese starts off as basically the same. You take milk, add starter cultures and perhaps acid, heat the mixture, add enzymes (rennet), wait for the curds to set, separate the curds, and drain off the whey...at this point the curds are basically at the Cottage Cheese stage. To continue to a Farmers Cheese, you would add a bit of salt and press the curds together. To press the curds you would line a colander with cheescloth and let the Cottage Cheese settle a bit (maybe one hour), then gather the curds into the center of the cheesecloth and wrap the cloth around the curds so that you have long ends one one side and the other to twist in opposite directions. This will press more of the whey out of the curd and doing this combined with letting the cheese dry out in a cool, low humidity setting (like your fridge) would result in Farmers Cheese. See the link reference for more on the difference between Cottage and Farmers Cheeses.

What is the difference between Farmers Cheese and Cottage Cheese?
<><><>
when milk is curdled with rennet or vinegar, it forms solid curds and liquid whey. Farmers cheese is made by draining the whey off, usually in a cheesecloth. This makes a raw, soft cheese. It can be drained further by compressing the cloth or letting it drain longer. Salt or herbs can be added.
