Types of Fermented Milks
- Laban: Originating from the Maghreb, laban is the most consumed type of fermented milk in France, with a peak in sales during Ramadan. Its smooth and creamy texture makes it enjoyable as a drink or as an accompaniment to dishes, especially sweet ones. Lactel laban is notable for its low fat content (1%).
